A landfill company sued a landscaping company for non-receipt of payment for work it did for the Tel Aviv municipality. The company claimed the landfill company presented it with forged landfill permits, and as a result, caused it to violate the employment contract it closed with the municipality.

Following the discovery of the forgery, the municipality refused to pay the gardening company more than 90% of the consideration promised to it. Judge Carmela Haft accepted the position of the company and its owners, and ruled that the terms of the municipality's work order formed part of the contract.
