Clause 30

Any party to an arbitration agreement may take out a writ of subpoena ad testificandum (writ to compel witness to attend and give evidence) or a writ of subpoena duces tecum (writ to compel witness to attend and give evidence and produce specified documents).

The Court may order that a writ of subpoena ad testificandum or a writ of subpoena duces tecum shall be issued to compel the attendance before an arbitral tribunal of a witness wherever he may be within Singapore.

The Court may also issue an order under section 38 of the Prisons Act (Cap. 247) to bring up a prisoner for examination before an arbitral tribunal.

No person shall be compelled under any such writ to produce any document which he could not be compelled to produce on the trial of an action.
