Exception—agreement of parties (2) Subsection (1) does not prevent the admission, at a proceeding in the Tribunal, of particular evidence if each party to the proceeding to which the dispute resolution process relates (other than a non-participating party to that dispute resolution process or that proceeding) agrees to the evidence being admitted. Exception—certain reports admissible (3) Subsection (1) does not prevent the admission, at a proceeding in the Tribunal, of a report prepared by a person conducting a dispute resolution process in the form of a neutral evaluation. (4) However, subsection (3) does not apply if, before the start of the hearing of the proceeding, a party to the proceeding to which the dispute resolution process relates notifies the Tribunal that the party objects to the report being admitted.
