We have restricted the amount that can be presented. But what is really needed is better organized evidence. Most time and energy expended by Arbitrators goes into trying to figure out what is significant.
Speaking as someone experienced in being *in* arbcomm cases :-) I would say that the arcomm could ease their lot, and that of participants, by being a bit more active. Ie, people could present a much more restricted set of the important evidence, the arbcomm review it, and say "OK, thats enough" or "We need more to demonstrate your point X" or something. At the moment, because the arbcomm give little if any feedback on how much evidence is needed, people naturally put up more rather than less.
