Therefore, the court may assign a subject-matter expert to provide the Court with his opinion and advice. Hence, the court may accept the said advice or return it to the concerned expert one more time if one or both of the parties refuses the given advice of the expert. Therefore, the refusing party must provide court with a statement detailing with the reasons for their refusal.
