Service and Execution of Process Act 1992

The court of issue or the authority of issue may order that the prisoner be produced at the time and place specified in the subpoena as the time and place at which compliance with the subpoena is required.

The court or authority may make an order only if it is satisfied that:

the giving of the evidence that the prisoner is likely to give, or the production of a document or thing specified in the subpoena, is necessary in the interests of justice; and

there will be enough time:

for compliance with the order; and

to permit the making of applications under sections 43 and 44.

Before making an order the court or authority may:

require the person (if any) at whose request the subpoena was issued to give such security as the court or authority specifies for ensuring compliance with an order under section 45; and

stay the proceeding for the making of the order until the security is given.

An order:

may be made subject to specified conditions; and

must be addressed to the custodian of the prisoner.
