Rule 24.2 Witness summonses
A witness summons is a document issued by the court requiring a witness to—
attend court to give evidence; or
produce documents to the court.
A witness summons must be in the form set out in Practice Direction 24A.
There must be a separate witness summons for each witness.
A witness summons may require a witness to produce documents to the court either—
on the date fixed for a hearing; or
on such date as the court may direct.
The only documents that a summons under this rule can require a person to produce before a hearing are documents which that person could be required to produce at the hearing.
