Witness Summons in UK Law

Tajik Aluminium Plant v Hydro Aluminium as
“
Whatever may be the origin of the present rules, there are in my view clear distinctions to be drawn between an order for disclosure made against a third party and a witness summons to produce documents. An order for disclosure normally directs the person to whom it is addressed to carry out a reasonable search for documents in his possession falling within classes which are often broadly described and to list them for the information of the parties to the proceedings.
Rule 34.2 does not contain any provision comparable to section 2(4) of the Evidence (Proceedings in Other Jurisdictions) Act 1975, but Lord Fraser's observations are nonetheless helpful because they provide an example of the ways in which, without describing them individually, it may be possible to identify the documents to be produced with sufficient certainty to leave no real doubt in the mind of the person to whom the summons is addressed about what he is required to do.

Lee Stewart Barnaby v DPP
“
Given these facts, it was appropriate to admit this res gestae evidence notwithstanding, in a strict sense, Ms Gibb was available as a witness, for instance if the court had issued a witness summons.

Senior v Holdsworth, ex parte Independent Television News Ltd
“
The law, as it now stands, does not enable the Court to refuse to issue a witness summons (or subpoena) for the production of documents upon due application. The remedy available to the person served is to move to set the summons aside. Further, even if the document sought be relevant and not otherwise privileged from production, the Court has a residual discretion in certain circumstances to protect the document and set the summons aside.

R (B) v Stafford Crown Court
“
In my judgment, procedural fairness in the light of Article 8 undoubtedly required in the present case that TB should have been given notice of the application for the witness summons, and given the opportunity to make representations before the order was made. Since the rules did not require this of the person applying for the summons, the requirement was on the court as a public authority, not on W, the defendant.

R (Brooks) v Parole Board and Secretary of State for the Home Department
“
However, by 19 th December 2002 it was clear to everyone involved —the Secretary of State, the claimant's solicitors and no doubt the Parole Board panel, that Shirley Langhorne did not propose to attend on the following day. That had certain advantages so far as the claimant was concerned, and his solicitor had the opportunity overnight to consider the situation.
