Yes. The Haifa Family Court heard testimony from the father of the plaintiff , who was in the United States , after it had earlier turned down the latter’s application to give evidence by video-conference. The Court had earlier held that the hearing would take place in the presence of both parties but the plaintiff had said that if he came to Israel he would have to re-apply for a visa in the United States, which was time-consuming and would result in him losing his job. The court stressed that he got the impression that the grandfather’s source of information was the plaintiff, so that his knowledge was second-hand, and his testimony, therefore, had little value.
