The court: The immunity of the Postal Authority does not apply to its activities as a banking corporation

Adv. Gill Nadel, Moran Shmilovich

Recently, the Magistrate’s Court of Hadera discussed the question of the liability of the Postal Authority in the field of providing banking services.

The case involved a client of the Postal Bank who order checkbooks from the banks, only to have these checkbooks sent to other people who used the checkbooks while forging the signature of the client, without his knowledge or consent.

One of the checks for 1500 NIS was honored by the Postal Bank, despite the fact that the withdrawal signature on the check was not that of the client, but a forged signature. In addition, most of the checkbooks were used. When the client became aware of this fact, he gave instructions to cancel the checkbooks, which lead to collection proceedings being taken against him regarding them. These proceedings caused the client, according to his claim, expenses and damages and therefore he referred to the court with an action against the Postal Authority.

As we know, the Postal Authority has statutory immunity against actions filed against it for erroneous delivery of mail. Beyond that, the extent of the liability of the Postal Authority for loss of mail is limited to 543 NIS. Similarly, an action for erroneous delivery of mail has a limitation period of one year. Based on these stipulations, the Postal Authority petitioned the court to dismiss the action filed against it.

The question discussed in this case is what is the extent of the liability regime applying to the Postal Authority when it sends checkbooks to account-holders like this client, while using the postal services of the Postal Authority, and when these checkbooks themselves were issued to the client while the Postal Authority’s operated not as a postal service, but in the banking services field?

The court ruled that regarding the Postal Bank services, the Customs Authority acted not in its capacity as a deliverer of mail to the recipient, but in a different capacity, which bears salient markers of a banking corporation.

Opening an account in the Postal Bank for a client, managing the account, issuing checkbooks that withdraw from the account, sending the checkbooks to clients, and charging the account via the check taken from these books- these are all located in the field of providing banking services and not in the field of providing postal services.

Therefore, the court found that it could not be ruled that the stipulation of the exemption and the limitation on liability upon which the Postal Authority relied in its claims can apply to these activities.

The court also ruled that the Postal Law differentiates between postal services and financial services provided by the Postal Authority. The court applies the regime of limited liability to the postal services provided by the Postal Authority, while for anything relating to financial services, a regular and wider regime applies. In our case- the Postal Law does not apply the stipulations regarding the period of limitation or the limited sum for which the Postal Authority can be sued to the financial services provided by the Customs Authority.

In light of the above, the court rejected the petition of the Postal Authority for dismissal of the action against it (for reasons of time limitation and limited liability) and left the action standing.

Whistleblowers Against Fraud & How To Approach Stolen Credit Situations

To say that credit cards being stolen is an issue would be an understatement. After all, there are many problems that can arise from this, financially or otherwise, and the idea of care must be placed at a high level. Whistleblowers Against Fraud may tell you the same, especially when given the fact that many of these cards can wind up in the wrong hands. If you’re curious about solutions to this issue, we will get into this topic of discussion a little later on.

If you’re going to look at the reasons why credit cards may be stolen, there are certain ideas you should take into account. For instance, maybe you are someone who leaves his or her card in the car, as this may be a protective measure. However, someone may break into said car to snatch it, which is a problem observed by authorities the likes of WAF. Solutions can be had, as far as situations like this are concerned, and here are a few that Whistleblowers Against Fraud can tell you all about.

If you find that your credit card is missing or stolen, do not waste any time in contacting your bank on the matter. The reason for this – and I am sure that most would agree – is because of how quickly your bank can pinpoint your card and cancel it in an instant. What this means is that you will not have to worry about someone else using your card, without your knowledge or consent. The sooner you get in touch with your bank, the better off you will wind up being.

If you’re going to receive a new credit card, you’ll have to be much more careful than ever before. Instead of keeping your card directly in your pocket, keep it somewhere that you know it will always be. The best choice, in this scenario, would be your wallet. However, others may feel more comfortable using their bags to keep it secure. Whatever the case may be, it is of the utmost importance to know where, exactly, your credit card is at all times.

Let’s say that you decide to make a large purchase with your credit card at some point. Maybe you will find that the card reader is broken and the teller has to swipe it through another time, which doesn’t sound too farfetched on its own. However, it’s in this particular situation that extra charges can be made, which is a problem that very few can overlook. As someone who not only shops constantly but has the utmost attention on their finances, focus on any possible additional charges which can be made later on.

Offshore Banking is Simple to Shop For and You Will Easily Be Able to Buy Products That You Want

Offshore banking is a great way to keep your money secure and a lot of people use a service like this for their assets. Most of the time, these services offer higher interest and lower fees which is why they are so popular. A bank account like this is entirely legal and is a great way to secure your assets.

A lot of people are trying to find ways to earn more interest and cut down on the cost of banking and opening an offshore bank account is a great way to do this. There are lots of options available so finding what you need in terms of services shouldn’t be hard.

You can find offshore banking services in a variety of places and quite a few high street banks offer an international banking service. It really depends on what sort of services you’re looking for though. You’ll have to consider a few things because you open any accounts.

Offshore banking is an old term used to describe any banking facility that is not based in your resident country. A lot of people use them and you’ll have probably heard about them from films and TV shows. The Swiss Bank Account is regularly mentioned in thrillers and action movies.

Most people imagine an offshore bank account as being based on an island somewhere in the caribbean. On the contrary, there are some banks that are actually based inland such as the ones in Switzerland. Offshore banking does have it’s benefits but it also has some bad points.

The benefits are that your money is usually more secure in an offshore account. You will also find that the services available are much better than those offered by high street banks. For example, interest rates are higher, fees are lower and usually you can have your own personal banking advisor.

However, there are a few negatives as well – sometimes you may not be comfortable having your money situated in a different country. This can sometimes cause worry and stress, although it really depends on how you feel personally.

Another things that people don’t often realise is that although it’s a well known fact that interest rates are higher at offshore banking facilities, you will still have to pay tax on your assets. Many people think otherwise and end up having a bit of disappointing bank statement.

However, the positive points, by far outweigh the negative points when it comes to offshore banking. The options available are more personalised than options offered at high street banks and this is probably one of the main reasons why they are so popular.

You can find out quite a bit of information about this sort of banking by having a good look around on the internet. Make sure you do a lot of research before you open an account anywhere. There are probably a few reviews available on the net as well which will give you a good idea of whether the services offered at a specific bank are worthwhile.
