Exactly what it means depends on the content of the subpoena. In general terms, a subpoena is a court order to produce evidence, which can include testimony. If the subpoena commands you to appear and testify in court, then you must do so or you can be arrested for contempt of court.
Once a subpoena has been properly served, there is not much that one can do to legally elude their responsibility to the court system. However, the operative word is "properly." If a subpoena is dropped off at a place of business or delivered by mail, one could claim "ineffective service." Individuals who serve subpoenas must be able to testify to a judge that they indeed served the subpoena properly (they must be able to verify that the documents reached their intended recipient).
To properly subpoena someone in a legal proceeding, you must first obtain a subpoena form from the court. Fill out the form with the required information, including the person's name and the reason for the subpoena. Then, have the subpoena served to the individual by a process server or another authorized person. The person must then appear in court at the specified time and place as directed in the subpoena.
To legally obtain phone records by issuing a subpoena, you must first file a lawsuit and then request the court to issue a subpoena for the phone records. The subpoena must be served to the phone company, who will then provide the records as required by law.
It means that whatever was called for in the subpoena was carried out as ordered.
There are several things regarding subpoenas. First off, you need to be in the discovery phase of a lawsuit. Then you file the subpoena request with the court and if the request is granted, it will be delivered in person. The article describes the process in more detail.
To issue a subpoena to a third party in a legal case, the party seeking the subpoena must first obtain approval from the court. The subpoena must then be drafted with specific details about the information or documents being requested. The subpoena is then served to the third party, who is legally required to comply with the request. Failure to comply with a subpoena can result in legal consequences.
To stop a subpoena, the person must obtain a subpoena motion form from the courthouse. The form must be filled out with the reason the subpoena should be quashed. The motion should be filed with the clerk's office and a copy should be sent to the plaintiff's attorney by certified mail.
