§ 7410. Privilege
(a) General rule.--Except as otherwise provided in this section, a collaborative communication is privileged, may not be compelled through discovery and shall not be admissible as evidence in an action or proceeding. Evidence that is otherwise admissible and subject to discovery shall not become inadmissible or protected from discovery solely because of its disclosure or use in a collaborative law process.
(3) A communication sought or offered in a criminal proceeding or in an action to enforce, void, set aside or modify a settlement agreement where a tribunal or court of competent jurisdiction finds that the evidence is not otherwise available and the need for the evidence substantially outweighs the interest in protecting the privilege.
