Regulation 15 Statements in lieu of oral evidenceF1I1

Subject to the provisions of this regulation, the tribunal may admit evidence by way of a written statement made by a person, notwithstanding that he may not be called as a witness, so, however that evidence shall not be admissible under this regulation if it would not have been admissible had it been given orally.

For the purposes of this regulation, a written statement purporting to be made and signed by a person and witnessed by another person shall be presumed to have been made by that person unless the contrary be shown.

Nothing in this regulation shall prejudice the admission of written evidence which would be admissible apart from the provisions of this regulation.
