• Ch. 2: Arbitration: Uniform Arbitration Act

Text

(a) The arbitrators may issue subpoenas for the
attendance of witnesses and for the production of books, records,
documents and other evidence, and have authority to administer oaths.
In matters subject to arbitration between labor and management,
neither party may subpoena or obtain an order for the production of the
financial books, financial records, or documents pertaining to the
income or financial condition of the other party. Subpoenas so issued
shall be served, and upon application to the court by a party or the
arbitrators, enforced, in manner provided by law for the service and
enforcement of subpoenas in a civil action.
(b) On application of a party, the arbitrators may order the
deposition of a witness to be taken for use as evidence, and not for
discovery, if the witness can not be subpoenaed or is unable to attend
the hearing. The deposition shall be taken in the manner prescribed by
law for the taking of depositions in civil actions.
(c) All provisions of law compelling a person under subpoena to
testify are applicable and enforceable upon application to the court.
(d) Fees for attendance as a witness are the same as for a witness in
the superior court.
