No, you dont have to go to court just because you were properly served a subpoena.
That was the first answer, I got another take on the question: then , like all grown boys and girls, you might have some consequences you might not have counted on when you just did not bother to show for court as instruced on the subpoena .
Just like everthing in this particular legal system, it's not self enforcing....
So, it really depends on how much somebody, as in the person who wanted the subpoena and got it done according to law, really gets upset that you just decided not to bother to attend to the order of the court in which you were ordered to be present.
Like, you weren't asked to be in the court, because everybody just thought that you were a wonderfull person. Somebody really thought that you had something to add to the legal proceeding, and you! decided that you did not have to show. O. K.
Just for the record: court orders are not a joke and a discard.
My suggestion is to show up in court.
I don't know how old this question is but either way someone might come across it and get some proper advice. IF you are unable to attend an upcoming court case in which you were served a subpoena you must contact the Crown Attorney's office and either speak directly with the Crown or leave a detailed message on the voice mail including courtroom number, person charged and person who did the charging, the reason you cannot attend and a phone number to be reached at. I had to do this for reasons that were beyond my control.

The Supreme Court ruled that Nixon had to comply with the subpoenas, emphasizing that no one, including the President, is above the law. This decision ultimately led to the release of taped conversations that revealed Nixon's involvement in the scandal, contributing to his decision to resign.
