Is there a limit to the number of small claims actions that may be filed?

There is a limit to the number of small claims that an individual may file. A person may file a maximum of five small claims in the same court during a single calendar year.

For example: Between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, an individual may file only up to five small claims in the Kfar Saba Small Claims Court.

However, this does not prevent that same individual from filing five small claims in the Netanya Small Claims Court, five in the Haifa Small Claims Court, and so on, within the same year.

This limitation applies only to small claims court cases. The restriction does not limit the number of “regular” claims an individual may file in various courts (e.g., District Court, Family Court, Labor Court).
