    Can a Court compel a court appointed expert to testify without a guarantee that either party will pay his fee for testifying?  Stated conversely, can a Court compel a party to pay that expert in advance even if the party is completely dissatisfied with the expert and believes the expert has been negligent in handling the matter?


    Thank you.
