[1535] Privacy Law, supra at Chapter 1, sec. 5. It should be noted that, although, until recently, Sec. 2 of the Privacy Law was usually interpreted by Israeli courts (in view of Sec. 3 of the Privacy Law) as applying only to individuals (and not to corporations), in February 2002, Tel Aviv District Court Judge Yehuda Zaft ruled that Sec. 2(5) of the Privacy Law may be used to protect the privacy of corporations as well. This issue has not been reviewed yet by the Supreme Court. See Civil Case (Tel Aviv) 2324/01 Multilock Ltd. v. Rav Bariach Hashkaot Ltd. and Others
