Commonwealth Numbered Regulations

1979 No. 140 FEDERAL COURT RULES - RULE 27.5

5. (1) Where, in any proceeding, the person named in the subpoena is an
officer of a bank, and the bank is not a party to the proceeding, and the
subpoena requires the officer to produce any banker's book, the contents of
which can be proved under an enactment of the State or Territory in which the
proceeding is pending by means other than the production of the book, the
subpoena shall, unless the Court otherwise orders, expressly permit the
officer to produce proof of the relevant entries in accordance with that
enactment, instead of producing the banker's book.

(2) The Registrar issuing a subpoena shall not be concerned to enquire whether
sub-rule (1) applies to the subpoena but the Court may set aside as irregular
a subpoena which does not comply with sub-rule (1).
