The appeal was dismissed: the court held the plaintiff’s expert evidence was not clearly and obviously useless despite lack of vessel inspection; expert may remain admissible to establish common practice and safe system of work subject to clarifications on what is 'normal' versus 'abnormal' and fuller disclosure of qualifications; parties’ experts were ordered to confer and produce a joint expert report to assist the court and to limit unnecessary cost and serial commentary.
