The correct answer is subpoena duces tecum. This type of legal document orders a person or organization to produce documents, records, or evidence for a court case. In this scenario, the doctor's office is required to send the patient's medical records to the court, which aligns with the definition of a subpoena duces tecum.
A doctor’s office receives an official court order to send one patient’s medical records to the court. These documents have to arrive at the court by a certain date and time. Nothing in the official order mentions anyone from the medical office having to speak in court. What is the name of this piece of legal paperwork?
