2)         no party will be injured by the granting of the waiver; and

3)         the rule from which the waiver is granted would, as applied to the particular case, be unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome.

b)         The burden of proof in establishing a right to a waiver shall be on the party seeking the waiver.
