Neither can any of the professional team retained in the course of the collaboration be brought to court.

There are two exceptions: 1 ) Any affidavit sworn in the course of the collaboration and vouching documentation attaching to same and 2 ) any interim agreement made and signed off in the course of the collaboration or correspondence relating thereto.
