Justice HEIPLE delivered the opinion of the court:
Resolution of this case requires this court to determine (1) whether trial courts have discretion in fashioning a sanction for a technical violation of Rule 220, and (2) whether defendants can be considered prevailing parties under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (Ill.Rev.Stat.1991, ch. 121½ par. 261 et seq.) and thereby receive attorney fees.
