When is the deadline for last date for service of a subpoena?

The catalogue records a 5 days period from the date stated in the subpoena for compliance with it (counting backwards). This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.

In preparation

The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.

Example pending review

A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.

  • Rule 6603 (1): the court may give leave for a subpoena to be served later than 5 days before the compliance date, on affidavit.
  • An addressee need not comply unless the subpoena is served on or before the stated last date for service (r 6606 (2)). Rule 6482 imposes a different and longer rule for special witnesses: at least 6 weeks before the hearing date. Because the period is 5 days or less, r 6350 (2) excludes days the registry is closed.
