Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law is intended to address phenomena of scams and financial exploitation of senior citizens. It therefore establishes eligibility for legal aid for a person who has reached the age of 65 in proceedings based on the exploitation of the person's difficulty, weakness, cognitive condition, health condition, or language difficulties – in claims whose cause of action is mistake, deception, duress, or unconscionable advantage under the Contracts Law, unfair influence under the Consumer Protection Law, or conversion or fraud under the Torts Ordinance, as well as in proceedings under the Payment Services Law. Section 3 of the Legal Aid Law, 1972, which requires meeting a financial eligibility test, shall not apply in these cases.
