issuing officer means an officer empowered to issue a subpoena on behalf of the court.
issuing party, for a subpoena, means the party at whose request the subpoena is issued.

	(ii)	does not substantially comply in form with these rules; or
Note	The registrar may refuse to accept a subpoena for filing under o 66 r 10B (Refusal to accept documents—abuse of process etc).  That rule is applied to criminal proceedings by o 80 r 3 (Application of civil rules to criminal proceedings).
	(b)	if the court has made an order, or there is a rule of court, having the effect of requiring that the proposed subpoena—
	(i)	not be issued; or

	(c)	requiring the production of a document or thing in the custody of the court or another court.

	(4)	A subpoena is taken to be issued on its being sealed or otherwise authenticated under subrule (3).
3	Form of subpoena
	(1)	A subpoena must be in accordance with form 1.1A.
	(2)	A subpoena must not be addressed to more than 1 person.
	(3)	Unless the court otherwise orders, a subpoena must identify the addressee by name or by description of position.

	(10)	If the addressee is a corporation, the corporation must comply with the subpoena by its appropriate or proper officer.
4	Setting aside subpoena or other relief
	(1)	The court may, on the application of a party or someone else having a sufficient interest, set aside a subpoena completely or partly, or grant other relief in relation to it.

	(1)	An addressee need not comply with the requirements of a subpoena to attend to give evidence unless conduct money has been handed or tendered to the addressee a reasonable time before the date when attendance is required.
	(2)	An addressee need not comply with the requirements of a subpoena unless it is served on or before the date specified in the subpoena as the last date for service of the subpoena.
	(3)	Despite rule 5 (1), an addressee must comply with the requirements of a subpoena even if it has not been served personally on the addressee (or, if the court orders service in another way, it has not been served in that way) if the addressee has, by the last date for service of the subpoena, actual knowledge of the subpoena and its requirements.
	(4)	The addressee must comply with a subpoena to produce—
	(a)	by attending at the date, time and place specified for production and producing the subpoena or a copy of it and the document or thing to the court or to the person authorised to take evidence in the proceeding; or

	(5)	For a subpoena that is both a subpoena to attend to give evidence and a subpoena to produce, production of the subpoena or a copy of it and the document or thing in any of the ways permitted by subrule (4) does not discharge the addressee from the obligation to attend to give evidence.

	(3)	The request mentioned in subrule (2) must be made orally on the return date for the subpoena or in writing after the return date.

	(5)	Unless the court otherwise orders, the registrar may permit the parties to inspect at the registry any document or thing produced unless the addressee, a party or someone else having sufficient interest objects to the inspection under this rule.
	(6)	If the addressee objects to a document or thing being inspected by any party to the proceeding, the addressee must tell the court about the objection and the grounds of the objection.
	(7)	The objection mentioned in subrule (6) must be made orally to the court on the return date for the subpoena or in writing to the court before or after the return date.
	(8)	If a party or person having a sufficient interest objects to a document or thing being inspected by a party to the proceeding, the objector may tell the court on the return date for the subpoena or in writing about the objection and the grounds of the objection.

	(a)	must not permit any, or any further, inspection of the document or thing the subject of the objection; and
	(b)	must refer the objection to the court for hearing and decision.
Note	The registrar may hear and decide the objection in some circumstances (see o 61 r 3AA (Jurisdiction of registrar—subpoenas)).
	(10)	The registrar must notify the issuing party in writing about—
	(a)	the objection; and
	(b)	the date, time and place the objection will be heard.
	(11)	The issuing party must, a reasonable time before the date the objection will be heard, notify the addressee, the objector and each other party about—
	(a)	the objection; and
	(b)	the date, time and place the objection will be heard.
Note	See o 39A r 8 (Power to allow removal of documents and things) for the procedure for the removal of documents and things from the registry.
10	Disposal of subpoenaed documents and things produced

11	Costs and expenses of compliance with subpoena
	(1)	This rule applies if the addressee for a subpoena in a proceeding is not a party to the proceeding.
	(2)	The court may order the issuing party to pay the amount of any reasonable loss or expense incurred in complying with the subpoena.
	(3)	If an order is made under subrule (2), the court must fix the amount or direct that it be fixed according to the court’s usual procedure in relation to costs.
	(4)	An amount fixed under this rule is separate from and in addition to—
	(a)	any conduct money paid to the addressee; and
	(b)	any witness expenses payable to the addressee; and
	(c)	any amount that the addressee is entitled to under order 65 rule 7 (Scale of costs) and schedule 3 (Costs).
12	Failure to comply with subpoena—contempt of court
	(1)	Failure to comply with a subpoena without lawful excuse is a contempt of court and the addressee may be dealt with accordingly.
	(2)	Despite rule 5 (1), if a subpoena has not been served personally on the addressee, the addressee may be dealt with for contempt of court as if the addressee had been personally served if it is proved that the addressee had, by the last date for service of the subpoena, actual knowledge of the subpoena and of its requirements.
	(3)	Subrules (1) and (2) are without prejudice to any power of the court (including the power to issue a warrant for the arrest of an addressee who defaults in attendance in accordance with a subpoena) or otherwise, to enforce compliance with a subpoena.
13	Documents and things in custody of court
	(1)	A party who seeks production of a document or thing in the custody of the court or another court may notify the registrar in writing accordingly, identifying the document or thing.

	(i)	in court or to anyone authorised to take evidence in the proceeding, as required by the party; or 
	(ii)	as the court directs.
	(4)	Subrules (2) and (3) do not apply if order 66 rule 10B (Refusal to accept documents—abuse of process etc) applies.
Note	Order 66 r 10B is applied to criminal proceedings by o 80 r 3 (Application of civil rules to criminal proceedings).
14	Banker’s books
	(1)	This rule applies if—
	(a)	the addressee for a subpoena in a proceeding is an officer of a bank; and
	(b)	the bank is not a party to the proceeding; and
	(c)	the subpoena requires the addressee to produce a banker’s book; and
	(d)	the contents of the banker’s book can be proved under legislation in force in the ACT in a way other than the production of the book.
	(2)	Unless the court otherwise orders, the subpoena allows the addressee to produce proof of the relevant entries in accordance with that legislation, instead of producing the banker’s book.
15	Application of o 1AA—subpoena under Commercial Arbitration Act

	(a)	it is given to a person apparently engaged (whether as employee or otherwise) in the practice and apparently at least 16 years old; or
	(b)	if a person mentioned in paragraph (a) refuses to accept the subpoena—the subpoena is put down in the person’s presence and the person is told of the nature of the subpoena.
	(3)	If a subpoena requires a medical expert to attend to give evidence, it may be served later than 6 weeks before the date fixed for the hearing of the proceeding only if—

	(b)	the court otherwise orders.
	(4)	If a medical expert to whom a notice has been given in accordance with rule 18 fails to attend the court on the date and at the time stated in the notice, the court may give leave for the service of a subpoena on the medical expert requiring the attendance of the medical expert.
18	Notice instead of subpoena to medical expert
	(1)	In a proceeding, a notice stating the date and time fixed for the hearing for the proceeding and requesting a medical expert’s attendance may be given to the expert instead of a subpoena.
	(2)	However, a notice under subrule (1)—
	(a)	may be given in the same way as a subpoena may be served on a medical expert; and
	(b)	must not be given later than 6 weeks before the date set for the hearing.
