The court rejected the appeal regarding a procedural order to add a question to the inquiry. The parties argued over whether this administrative act required formal notification of witnesses before the trial list was finalized. The court ruled that such an amendment is substantive, not merely clerical, and thus mandates notification of witnesses after the order transits into finality.
