The court upheld the lower court's decision rejecting the plaintiff's request for the defendant to answer questions to the expert witness prior to the final distribution. The plaintiff argued the defendant should respond to the expert's inquiries, while the defendant contended the final allocation of costs is determined only at the case's conclusion. The court ruled that procedural rules do not require the defendant to answer the expert's questions before the final distribution is made.
