78. A Tribunal member may decide that a report or any other document signed by a physician, police officer or firefighter or a person designated under the first paragraph of section 68 or in a rule of procedure adopted under section 85, or that an inspection report signed by an inspector appointed under an Act or regulation, is accepted in lieu of their testimony.
