`

`

`Delaware Court of Chancery Court Rule 45(c) & (d)
`
`(c) Protection of persons subject to subpoenas.
`
`(1) A party or an attorney responsible for the issuance and service of a subpoena
`
`shall take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense on a person
`
`subject to that subpoena. The court on behalf of which the subpoena was issued shall
`
`enforce this duty and may impose upon the party or attorney in breach of this duty
`
`an appropriate sanction, which may include, but is not limited to, lost earnings and
`
`a reasonable attorney’s fee.
`
`(2) (A) A person commanded to produce and permit inspection and copying of
`
`designated documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things or
`
`inspection of premises need not appear in person at the place of production or
`
`inspection unless commanded to appear for deposition, hearing or trial.
`
`(B) Subject to paragraph (d)(2) of this rule, a person commanded to produce and
`
`permit inspection and copying may, within 14 days after service of the subpoena or
`
`before the time specified for compliance if such time is less than 14 days after
`
`service, serve upon the party or attorney designated in the subpoena written
`
`objection to inspection or copying of any or all of the designated materials or of the
`
`premises. If objection is made, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled
`
`to inspect and copy the materials or inspect the premises except pursuant to an order
`
`of the court by which the subpoena was issued. If objection has been made, the party
`
`serving the subpoena may, upon notice to the person commanded to produce, move
`
`at any time for an order to compel production. Such an order to compel production
`
`shall protect any person who is not a party or an officer of a party from significant
`
`expense resulting from the inspection and copying commanded.
`
`(3 )(A) On timely motion, the court on behalf of which the subpoena was issued shall
`
`quash or modify the subpoena if it
`
`(i) fails to allow reasonable time for compliance;
`
`(ii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter and no exception or
`
`waiver applies; or
`
`(iii) subjects a person to undue burden.
`
`3
`
`

`

`(B) If a subpoena
`
`(i) requires disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential research, development,
`
`or commercial information, or
`
`(ii) requires disclosure of an unretained expert’s opinion or information not
`
`describing specific events or occurrences in dispute and resulting from the expert’s
`
`study made not at the request of any party, the court on behalf of which the subpoena
`
`was issued may, to protect a person subject to or affected by the subpoena, quash or
`
`modify the subpoena or, if the party in whose behalf the subpoena is issued shows a
`
`substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without
`
`undue hardship and assures that the person to whom the subpoena is addressed will
`
`be reasonably compensated, the Court may order appearance or production only
`
`upon specified conditions.
`
`(d) Duty in responding to subpoena.
`
`(1) If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing documents or electronically
`
`stored information, the person responding shall produce it in a form or forms in
`
`which it is ordinarily maintained, or in which it is reasonably usable. Absent a
`
`showing of good cause, the person responding need not produce the same documents
`
`or electronically stored information in more than one form. The person responding
`
`need not provide discovery of documents or electronically stored information from
`
`sources that the person identifies as not reasonably accessible because of undue
`
`burden or cost. On a motion to compel discovery or for a protective order, the person
`
`responding to a subpoena must show that the information is not reasonably
`
`accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the Court
`
`nevertheless may order discovery from such sources if the requesting party shows
`
`good cause. The Court may specify the conditions for the discovery.
`
`(2) When information subject to a subpoena is withheld on a claim that it is
`
`privileged or subject to protection as trial preparation materials, the claim shall be
`
`made expressly and shall be supported by a description of the nature of the
`
`documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things not produced that is
`
`sufficient to enable the demanding party to contest the claim.
