For a planar Lebesgue measurable set , its vertical section is a one-dimensional Lebesgue measurable set for almost everywhere. Write with a planar Borel set and a Borel Lebesgue null set. Every section and is Borel; Tonelli's theorem gives . Thus for almost everywhere, and proves the assertion by Completeness of Lebesgue measure. No finite-measure condition on is needed.
Exceptional sections need not be measurable: is a planar Lebesgue null set for every , even when is a non-measurable set. Conversely, if both and are non-measurable, cannot be measurable. Otherwise every would have to lie in the null exceptional set, making measurable by Completeness of Lebesgue measure.
