Definition: Quash Subpoena
The process involves filing a "motion to quash" with the court, often with supporting evidence, and serving notice to the issuing party.
To quash a subpoena means to formally request (via a court motion) that a judge invalidate, cancel, or set aside the subpoena, rendering it null and without legal force. This is typically done when the subpoena is deemed improper, overly burdensome, irrelevant, or violative of rights (such as privilege or undue hardship). If granted, the recipient is relieved from complying with it.
Common Grounds for Quashing
Improper service: The subpoena wasn't delivered correctly.
Undue burden: Compliance would be excessively time-consuming or costly.
Privilege: The requested information is protected (e.g., attorney-client).
Irrelevance: The materials or testimony aren't pertinent to the case.
