Confidentiality of settlement information bars use of settlement submissions as evidence in court, subject to limited discovery exception. Regulation 29 treats information and discussions in settlement proceedings as received in a fiduciary capacity and protects them from public release when disclosure would prejudice the Board or applicant; it excludes reliance on or introduction of proposals, representations or information from rejected or withdrawn settlement applications as evidence before any court or tribunal, subject to an exception where a settlement order is revoked or withdrawn, and allows proof of facts discovered as a direct consequence of such information.
