CPA Dan Rabin was hired by the Ministry of Justice in 2005 and was defined as an "internal contractor." There is no dispute that in the contract between the parties CPA Rabin was defined as an external contractor and not as an employee. CPA Rabin's position was Proper Management Department Director at the Registrar of Associations (a unit in the Ministry of Justice). In 2012, the contract between the parties was terminated and Rabin CPA filed a lawsuit against the State of Israel with the Regional Labor Court for the amount of ILS 2,001,058.

The liquidation of a company is a procedure that brings to an end the functioning of a corporation as a business.

At times, liquidation enforces the collection of the outstanding debts of the corporation to its creditors. This can be accomplished, among other methods, by suing the director of the company as part of the liquidation proceedings. Articles 373-374 of the Company Act are applicable here. While this is indeed one of the strategies that may result in the collection of the debt, we should keep in mind that holding the company director personally liable is indeed an exceptional measure, and one the Court does not approve of easily.
