What is the meaning, MOTION TO STRIKE AND QUASH SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM AND FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER

Question

What is the meaning,

MOTION TO STRIKE AND QUASH SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM AND FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER



Answer

A subpoena duces tecum is a subpoena which requires someone to produce something, usually documents, to the another party in a lawsuit. A motion to strike and to quash is a request, made by the person to whom the subpoena was directed, to the Court; and it asks that the subpoena not be enforced. A protective order is an order from the Court allowing a party to whom a subpoena is directed, to ignore certain requests made in a subpoena, or to direct that certain things may not be requested. Without knowing the particulars of your case, that's about as clear an explanation as I can give you.



Answer

duces tecum means provide the items in the subpoena
