Issuing of subpoena
42.02 Issuing of subpoena
The Court may, in any proceeding, by subpoena order the addressee—
to attend to give evidence as directed by the subpoena; or
to produce the subpoena or a copy of it and any document or thing as directed by the subpoena; or
to do both of those things.
A subpoena may be issued under this Rule by a principal registrar, registrar or deputy registrar of the Court at any venue of the Court.
The registrar must not issue a subpoena—
if the Court has made an order, or there is a Rule of the Court, having the effect of requiring that the proposed subpoena—
not be issued; or
not be issued without the leave of the Court and that leave has not been given; or
requiring the production of a document or thing in the custody of the Court or another court.
A subpoena is taken to be issued on its being signed by the registrar.
