Q: Subp-010 with deposition notice, for answers from non-party.
Can SUBP-010 for written depositions by non-party be accompanied by deposition notice, because subpoena is for answers to questions, not business records?
A:
Yes, you can accompany a SUBP-010 subpoena with a deposition notice, even when it is directed to a non-party for written responses. The deposition notice serves to clarify the specifics of the deposition process, such as the time, date, and method, even when you're not requesting business records but answers to written questions.
This helps ensure the non-party understands the nature of the subpoena and what is being requested. It's important to make sure that the questions are clear and follow proper legal procedures.
To avoid complications, ensure that both the deposition notice and the subpoena are properly served and comply with the California Code of Civil Procedure.
