Absolutely. A party to an arbitration must present any written evidence to the other side at least 20 days before the arbitration hearing. So long as you provide this new evidence to the other side at least 20 days beofre the arbitration, --the sooner the better--, the new evidence is admissible at the arbitration hearing. Of course, depending on the type of new evidence inolved, you can expect to be cross examined on the deposition testimony.
