(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a coroner may—
(a) admit as evidence at an inquest, whether or not admissible as evidence in any court, any oral testimony and any document or other thing relevant to the purposes of the inquest;
(b) act on the evidence admitted;
(c) exclude anything unduly repetitious or anything that the coroner considers does not meet the standards of proof commonly relied on by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their own affairs; and
(d) comment on the weight that ought to be given to any particular evidence.
(2) Nothing is admissible in evidence at an inquest that would be inadmissible in a court because of any privilege under the law of evidence.
(3) Subsection (1) does not override the provisions of any Act expressly limiting the extent to or purposes for which any oral testimony, documents or things may be admitted or used in evidence.
