Opinion

Argued February 17, 1984

Decided March 20, 1984

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, Vincent R. Balletta, J.

Kathy Solerwitz and Barbara Simon for appellant.

Kenneth J. Weinstein and Richard C. Goldberg for respondent.

Order affirmed, with costs, and question certified answered in the affirmative for the reasons stated in the Per Curiam opinion at the Appellate Division ( 93 A.D.2d 695). We cannot say that the expert opinion with respect to the economic value of the plaintiff's law practice would not be of assistance in fashioning a distributive award under the statute.

Concur: Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, JONES, WACHTLER, MEYER, SIMONS and KAYE.
