(a) Except as provided in (c) below, the board may relax any of the procedural requirements of this subchapter if the board determines that strict adherence to such requirements would result in unfairness or injustice.

By way of illustration, such procedures may include guidelines for the presentation of expert testimony and the use and exchange of such testimony, or specific discovery procedures.

(c) Notwithstanding (a) and (b) above, the board shall not relax procedural requirements of this subchapter if such requirements are imposed by the Act, by other applicable State or Federal statutes, or by applicable decision, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
