What is a Subpoena?

A ‘subpoena’ is a legal document issued by the Court at the request of a party. A subpoena compels a person to produce documents and/or give evidence at a hearing or trial.

There are three types of subpoenas:

  1. What is a Subpoena?Subpoena for production of documents;
  2. Subpoena to give evidence; and 
  3. Subpoena for production of documents and to give evidence.

Documents or evidence produced under subpoena is protected by the principle of ‘implied undertaking’ (or legal promise) founded in the High Court decision of Hearne v Street [2008] HCA 36. This common law principle provides that production of and access to documents under subpoena is subject to an implied undertaking that those documents will not be used for any purpose other than the proceedings.
