Section 185-120-18 - Subpoenas and DiscoveryA. Any party shall be entitled to the issuance of process in the name of the Board (to the extent permitted by law) to require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of any evidence relation to any issue of fact in the proceeding to the extent not privileged or protected by stature, rule or constitution.B. The Board may prescribe the form of subpoena, but it shall adhere insofar as practical to the form used in civil cases before the Courts. Witnesses shall be subpoenaed only within the territorial limits and in the same manner as witnesses in civil cases before the Courts, unless another territory or manner is provided by law. Witnesses subpoenaed shall be paid the same fee for attendance and travel as in civil cases before the Courts. Such fees shall be paid by the party requesting the subpoena.C. Any subpoena issued shall show on its face the name and address of the party at whose request it was issued.D. Any witness subpoenaed may petition the Board to vacate or modify a subpoena issued in its name. The Board shall give prompt notice to the party who requested issuance of the subpoena. After such investigation as the Board considers appropriate, it may grant the petition in whole or in part upon a finding that the testimony or the evidence whose production is required does not relate with reasonable directness to any matter in question, or that a subpoena for the attendance of a witness or the production of evidence is unreasonable or oppressive or has not been issued a reasonable period in advance of the time when the evidence is requested.E. Failure to comply with a subpoena lawfully issued in the name of the Board and not revoked or modified by the Board as provided in this section shall be punishable as for contempt for Court.18- 185 C.M.R. ch. 120, § 18
