Subpoena (Ro.: citaţie, De. : ~ Ladung, Fr.: assignation à témoigner, n.f./ assignation à comparaître, n.f./ citation à comparaître, n.f., Gr.: κλήτευση, Cz.: soudní předvolání svědkovi) (See also: court order, mandate, summons, testimony, warrant, writ) = a formal written order issued by a body with administrative or judicial jurisdiction, which orders an individual or an organisation to provide physical evidence or testify under penalty of failure.
The term subpoena has its roots in the Latin phrase 'sub poena', which directly translates into 'under penalty'. The penalty for not obeying the court-ordered command can entail either civil or criminal charges, depending on the gravity of the offence and on the applicable legislation.
A subpoena is usually requested by an attorney and it is issued by a clerk of the court, being served on an individual in any of the following ways: by personal delivery, by e-mail, or by certified mail to the last known address.
In Romania, a subpoena is a procedural act used in both civil and criminal proceedings, its main purpose being to inform the participants in the trial of the term when the dispute is about to be debated in court, as well as to order a person to present himself or herself in front of the judge at a future moment.
