Disgorgement of Profits in Israeli Law

תקציר

The study of disgorgement of profits in Israeli law demonstrates the availability of this remedy in nearly all legal areas. The extensive development of this remedy can only be explained in view of Israeli private law being the product of a mixed legal system with special characteristics. Accordingly, this study offers an overview of the special characteristics of Israeli private law (part 2); addresses the terminology regarding disgorgement of profits (part 3); the application of disgorgement of profits in different areas of the law (part 4); the calculation of profits to be disgorged (part 5); adjacent areas, such as negotiorum gestio (part 6) and punitive or aggravated damages (part 7); the links between administrative financial sanctions and private law remedies (part 8); and ends with an evaluation (part 9).
