Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005

Part 33 applies to the issue of a subpoena under section 27A of the Commercial Arbitration Act 2010 in the same way as it applies to the issue of a subpoena in proceedings in the court.

A subpoena for production before an arbitral tribunal may, with the leave of the court or the arbitral tribunal, require production on any day.

Unless the court otherwise orders, a subpoena requiring production of any document or thing before an arbitral tribunal must permit the person named, instead of attending and producing it before the arbitral tribunal, to produce the document or thing—

to a person, and at a place, nominated in writing by the arbitral tribunal and stated in the subpoena, and

by hand or by post,

If a document or thing is produced in accordance with subrule (3) the person nominated—

if required to do so, must give a receipt to the person producing the document or thing, and

must produce the document or thing as the nature of the case requires or as the arbitral tribunal may direct.

Subrule (3) does not apply to so much of a subpoena as requires a person to attend to give evidence.
