Disclosure by an order of court [subpoena duces tecum]
A court in the pursuit of justice may make an “ order of discovery” or a subpoena to produce case records. There is no question but such an order must be obeyed. Generally the appropriate person to attend court and produce the appropriate record would be a health records officer.
It is the original documents that should be produced in court but if the original documents cannot be traced , then the court may accept photocopies but must be certified to be the true copies of the original documents.
