Law/Patents - Law (general) / Regional Labor Court | | Hebrew term or phrase: חזר בו מאותן הסכמות | חזר בו מאותן הסכמות שהוצגו על ידי הצדדים ועל רקע זה נפרדו

Asker: Thank you, much :-)
Asker: I had the same problem last night - I couldn't see your suggestion, no matter how many times I refreshed the page or closed the browser... so I went to sleep :-)
Thanks for your answer.
