SUPREME COURT RULES 2000 - REG 499

Compliance with subpoena
(1)  Despite rule 498(1) , an addressee must comply with the requirements of a subpoena even if it has not been served personally on that addressee if the addressee has, prior to the time for compliance with the subpoena, actual knowledge of the subpoena and of its requirements.
(2)  The addressee must comply with a subpoena to produce –
(a) by attending at the date, time and place specified for production or, if the addressee has received notice of a later date or time from the issuing party, at that later date or time 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 as permitted by the Court or a judge; or
(b) by delivering or sending the subpoena, or a copy of it, and the document or thing to the Registrar at the address specified for the purpose in the subpoena, so that they are received not less than 2 clear days before the date specified in the subpoena for attendance and production or, if the addressee has received notice of a later date or time from the issuing party, before that later date .
(3)  In the case of 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 of the document or thing in any of the ways permitted by subrule (2) does not discharge the addressee from the obligation to attend to give evidence.
