QLD Should I Subpoena Pregnancy Records from Hospital?

[Adam2100]

Hi,

How should I write a subpoena to get pregnancy records from the hospital?

Thank you in advance.

Is the baby born yet?

 

[Adam2100]

Yes, the child is born and is 4 years old.

You firstly need to seek leave of the Court to issue the subpoena. Have you done this?

I'm not sure how the pregnancy records, of a 4 year old child, could be at all relevant to a case?

Just confirming what marty says above:

1. There needs to be an active case in court to issue a subpoena

2. You need to show that the subpoena needs to be relevant to the case.

Far better explained!

Or, to put it another way...
