Del. Ch. Ct. R. 137
Witnesses; Documents
Witnesses may be summoned to appear before the
Magistrate in Chancery by subpoena in the usual form,
which shall be issued by the Register in Chancery
requiring the attendance of the witnesses at the time and
place specified. The Magistrate in Chancery may also
compel the production by witnesses, including parties to
the cause, of books, papers and documents to be used as
evidence before the Magistrate in Chancery by subpoena
issued as in this rule provided. If any witness shall disobey
such subpoena, it shall be deemed a contempt of the Court,
which being certified to said Register’s office by the
Magistrate in Chancery, an attachment shall thereupon be
issued returnable before the Court.
Witnesses shall be allowed for attendance the same
compensation as for attendance in court.
