R 324.1207 Subpoenas; discovery.

Rule 1207. (1) At any time in a proceeding, the supervisor may order a party or witness to attend and testify orally at the hearing. Subpoenas for attendance at a hearing shall be issued by the supervisor upon application by a party. A subpoena may also command the person to whom it is directed to produce the books, papers, documents, or tangible things designated in the subpoena, which shall be specified in detail. (2) A subpoena shall state the purpose or the title of the proceeding and shall command each person to whom it is directed to attend and comply with the subpoena at a time and place specified in the subpoena. The supervisor, upon a motion made at or before the time specified in the subpoena for compliance with the subpoena, may do either or both of the following: (a) Quash or modify a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum if it is unreasonable or oppressive or if it requires the production of evidence that is not relevant or material to a matter in issue. (b) Condition the subpoena, in the case of a subpoena duces tecum, upon the advancement, by the person in whose behalf the subpoena is issued, of the reasonable cost of producing the books, papers, documents, or tangible things, unless otherwise provided by law. (3) The supervisor may issue an order to take a deposition, interrogatory, or other discovery either upon a motion by the supervisor or for good cause shown by a party to a proceeding. If a deposition, interrogatory, or other discovery is permitted, it shall be taken according to the rules for conducting discovery in circuit court civil cases under the Michigan rules of court.
