120 Unrepresented parties
Evidence is not to be adduced if, on objection by a party who is not represented in the proceeding by a lawyer, the court finds that adducing the evidence would result in disclosure of –
(a) a confidential communication between the party and another person; or
(b) the contents of a confidential document, whether delivered or not, that was prepared by or at the direction or request of the party –
for the dominant purpose of preparing for or conducting the proceeding.
