Def’s admission is telling, as it says that pl should be paid the value of the pool. This could mean only that pl owned the pool, which is meaningless since it has been destroyed. However, there are various indications that the intention is that profit payments should at least be enough to cover the pool’s cost. However, the dayanim disagreed on the proper formula.
Dayan 1 – Every "pool season" has around 50 days, and the revenues can be up to 400 NIS a day. We will estimate that def arranged for a total of 20 full days a season and that expenses were 10% of revenue, giving pl profits of 180 NIS a day. Thus pl’s part is 3,600 NIS per summer X 6 summers = 21,600 (which exceeds the price of the pool).
Dayan 2 – Since pl intended to make a profit on his investment and it is guesswork how much profit there was, we will give him the equivalent of profits had he invested in a standard, medium risk investment. [Sparing the reader the tables on various investments,] the amount that resulted was 21,861 NIS.
Dayan 3 took a very different and complicated approach [which we will not share for interest of space] and did not want to award pl more than the price of the pool. The ruling is like the in-between opinion – 21,600 NIS.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
