§ 25-56. Production of Documents at Hearing or Trial

(a)At the trial management conference prior to the commencement of an evidentiary hearing or trial, but in no event later than five days before the scheduled hearing date, either party may serve on the other a request for production of documents and tangible things, in a manner consistent with Sections 13-9 through 13-11. Service may be made in the same manner as a subpoena or consistent with Sections 10-12 through 10-14.

(b)If a party fails to produce the requested documents and items, the party filing the request shall be permitted to introduce into evidence such copies as that party might have, without having to authenticate the copies offered.

(c)If a party fails to produce the requested documents and items and the requesting party does not have copies to offer into evidence, the judicial authority may impose such sanctions on the nonproducing party as the judicial authority deems appropriate pursuant to Section 13-14 and as are available to the judicial authority for the enforcement of subpoenas.
