Opinion

PER CURIAM:

In our judgment the court’s award of counsel fees for services involved in securing answers to interrogatories was well within the scope of its discretionary authority and did not constitute abuse of discretion. We attach no significance to the fact that the court worded its order in terms of the deposition during the taking of which answers to the interrogatories were refused, nor to the fact that in determining whether the interrogatories should be answered the court examined the incomplete deposition to ascertain the scope of the examination.

Affirmed.
