In light of that, it seems that only the first party should have the right to submit evidence that is deemed conclusive in legislation. It also seems hard to understand how, under section 11(2), a relevant declaration under certain circumstances would not be admissible. I would have thought that ultimately it is a matter for a court to decide if something is admissible or not. We are being really prescriptive here. Those two things seem completely jarring.
