Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal against the costs ruling was admissible despite the appellant seeking the same cost allocation already ordered below.
Decisão extraída
The appellant lacked a legally protected interest because the challenged dispositive part already charged all judicial costs to the respondent, matching the appeal request.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found that the first-instance judgment had in fact placed the entire judicial costs burden, including expert costs, on the respondent. Since the appellant's conclusions did not differ from the operative part attacked, she had no interest worth protecting in having the court rule on the claim.
