>
> > (2) If a party does not provide a copy of a document before the parties’ settlement conference, the document (and any information contained in the document) is not to be considered or otherwise taken into account by the Commission for the purposes of the assessment of the claim under this Part unless the Commission admits the document to assessment on being satisfied that the probative value of the document substantially outweighs any prejudicial effect it may have on another party.
