What is a legal document demanding your testimony in court?
Once a lawsuit is filed, there is also something called an Order that is issued by the judge (a subpoea is usually issued by the court clerk or a lawyer) that requires a witness to appear in court (or at a deposition or hearing). You get an order after you file a motion to compel (if the jdge grants your motion). That is much more serious than a subpoena. If there is an order compelling a witness to appear in court, and he or she doesn't appear, the court may punish him or her in a variety of ways. One thing the court could do is say, okay, you didn't show up, now you lost the lawsuit. Hope this helps.
