The defendant also referred to the fact that she was summoned to Georgia, after the incident in which the surrogate disappeared with her fetus, who was still alive at the time. In this regard, the defendant testified about two visits to Georgia, one during the life of the fetus and the other afterwards, when she was astonished to discover the surrogate pregnant again for "another couple", as she put it (Tax Appeal 125, paras. 25-30):
Adv. Ophir: OK, tell me when you met the surrogate? You flew to Georgia to meet her, right?
The witness, Mrs. Priluk: I flew to Georgia and met her twice. I met her once I met her once trying to see if the pregnancy continued And after the pregnancy fell off because she didn't receive treatment for 3 weeks I flew again to find out what happened with her and to my amazement I find her pregnant with another couple
The unusual conduct in the matter of the defendant and the surrogate woman, which was not supervised by the surrogacy company, is even learned from the plaintiff's words, as they suddenly emerged during the cross-examination. More on this in the next paragraph.
- It should be emphasized that even the plaintiff admitted that this was a particularly exceptional case, and as he said (Tax Appeal 36 of the Protocol, paras. 9-15, emphases not original) -
"The witness, Mr. Manor: In my opinion, it doesn't appear there, I don't remember exactly because I don't, understand for a moment that this is a huge collection of documents of thousands of people and there was a legal department with us, so there are things that I didn't go into the grammar of what it is, but the fact is that this thing succeeded and succeeded and everything was fine And this exceptional case that Mrs. Prilock who disappeared for a week for 10 days was a case that never happened to us before, and thank God that in the end she was found healthy and whole"
In the plaintiff's cross-examination, things were brought more fairly and freely than in his tightened main testimony affidavit. Thus, the affidavit does not refer at all to the exceptions of the surrogate's disappearance. The affidavit refers to the disappearance as a case in which it turned out in retrospect that she had gone to visit her family, while the plaintiff, together with his daughter and the surrogacy company, came to the defendant's aid and assisted her.
