Section 15
Discovery

No later than fourteen (14) days prior to the hearing, each party will submit to the other copies of all documents, reports and records relevant to the Injury Grievance hearing. Failure to submit such documents, reports and records no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the hearing will preclude the non-complying party from submitting such documents, reports and records into evidence at the hearing, but the other party will have the opportunity to examine such documents, reports and records at the hearing and to introduce those it so desires into evidence, except that relevant documents submitted to the opposing party less than ten (10) days before the hearing shall be admissible provided the offering party and the custodian(s) of the documents made good faith effort to obtain (or discover the existence of) such documents or that the documents’ relevance was not discovered until the hearing.
