Rule 27.9. Failure to attend or to serve subpoena

(a) If the party giving the notice of the taking of a deposition fails to attend and proceed therewith, and another party attends in person or by attorney pursuant to the notice, the court may order the party giving the notice to pay to such other party the reasonable expenses incurred by him and his attorney in attending, including a reasonable amount for attorney’s fees.

(b) If the party giving the notice of the taking of a deposition fails to serve the witness with a subpoena and the witness because of such failure does not attend, and if another party attends in person or by attorney because he expects the deposition of that witness to be taken, the court may order the party giving the notice to pay such other party the reasonable expenses incurred by him and his attorney in attending, including a reasonable amount for attorney’s fees.
