An expert engineer from Arad Bedek Bayit found defects in an apartment built by the contractor Amirei Gan: an unsafe window pane, dampness from the windows and a bathroom, and more.
The plaintiff, Mr. Suan, had ordered Arad's inspection services.
The contractor was willing to fix the defects but dragged out the repairs, so the resident took the matter to court. With both parties' consent, the court referred the case to mediation.
Under the mediation agreement, Mr. Suan (the resident) was awarded ₪50,000.
