The Supreme Court accepted the position of the majority in a building in Tel Aviv and compelled a couple of residents to join an urban renewal project after they requested to promote a different plan. The couple, who were minority residents, sought to become developers themselves and sign a "construction services" deal instead of following the usual "combination deal" framework. Judge Dafna Barak-Erez ruled that construction rights in a shared building are a jointly owned economic asset, and it is not permissible to allow one tenant to deviate from the agreement signed by the majority. The district court determined that the couple's demand not only does not align with the nature of the agreement but could also jeopardize the entire project. The decision emphasizes the importance of cooperation among apartment owners in urban renewal projects and highlights the legal and economic challenges in this field.
