170L Treatment of set aside agreement
(1) If an agreement is set aside under section 170K—
(a) the agreement is taken never to have had effect for the purpose
of any proceeding in a court; and
(b) evidence of a statement or communication, or a part of a
statement or communication, tending to establish the existence
of the agreement is not admissible in any proceeding in a court,
unless the Supreme Court orders otherwise.
(2) The Supreme Court may make an order under subsection (1) (b) only
if satisfied that the admission of the evidence is necessary to avoid
injustice to a party to the proceeding.
