2 ??be a function with upper semicontinuous and quasi-continuous vertical sections f x (t) = f(x, t), t, x ?? It is proved that if the horizontal sections f y (t) = f(t, y), y, t ?? are of Baire class α (resp. Lebesgue measurable) [resp. with the Baire property] then f is of Baire class α + 2 (resp. Lebesgue measurable and sup-measurable) [resp. has Baire property]." />
