Subpoenas: business records.

Abstract

Existing law requires that subpoenas be served by delivering a copy personally, except as specified. This bill would additionally allow deposition subpoenas that command only the production of business records to be served by overnight delivery, facsimile transmission, or electronic means, as specified. Existing law provides that, except as specified, when a subpoena deuces tecum is served upon the custodian of records of a business and the subpoena requires the production of all or any part of the records of the business, it is sufficient compliance with the subpoena if the custodian delivers by mail or otherwise a true, legible, and durable copy of all of the records described in the subpoena to the clerk of the court or to another authorized person, as specified, together with the required affidavit, within 15 days after the receipt of the subpoena. This bill would extend the time period for compliance by two additional court days if a subpoena is served by overnight delivery, facsimile transmission, or electronic means.
