The District Court obligated a businessman to transfer a penthouse apartment to his former partner, based on a WhatsApp message in which he promised that the apartment would be hers.
The Supreme Court reversed the decision and ruled that the man was entitled to retract his undertaking to give the gift.
Justice Vilner noted that this is not a binding undertaking in every respect, and that it is highly doubtful whether a terse text message creates such an undertaking.
