Supreme Court Rules 2000

The Registrar may, in the Registrar’s discretion, return to the addressee any document or thing produced in response to a subpoena.

The Registrar must not return any document or thing under subrule (1) unless the Registrar has given to the issuing party at least 14 days’ notice of the intention to do so and that period has expired.

The addressee must complete the declaration within the subpoena, or copy of the subpoena, that accompanies the documents produced to the court under the subpoena.

The Registrar may, on the expiry of 4 months after the conclusion of the proceeding, cause to be destroyed all the documents produced in the proceeding in compliance with a subpoena that were not declared by the addressee to be original documents or things, and are no longer required in connection with the proceeding, including on any appeal.
