To obtain the documents you need for court, particularly through a subpoena for business records (Form SUBP-010), follow these steps:
- Complete the Subpoena Form: Obtain a subpoena form, such as Form SUBP-010, from the court clerk’s office or the court’s website. Fill out the form accurately and completely, including details such as the names of the parties involved, the specific records you’re requesting, and any relevant dates or deadlines. You may need foreign subpoenas.
- File the Subpoena with the Court: Submit the completed subpoena form to the court clerk’s office for filing. Depending on the court’s procedures, you may need to pay a filing fee and provide copies of the subpoena to the other parties involved in the case.
- Serve the Subpoena: Serve a copy of the subpoena on the custodian of records or the appropriate representative of the business from which you’re seeking records. You can use a process server or other authorized individual to serve the subpoena, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
- Await Response: Allow the business a reasonable amount of time to respond to the subpoena and produce the requested records. If necessary, follow up with the business or their legal representative to ensure compliance with the subpoena.
By following these steps and adhering to legal procedures, you can effectively obtain the documents you need for court through a subpoena for business records.
