Section 201.7. Service and return of subpoenas

(a) Service of subpoenas will be made by any of the methods authorized by Pa.R.C.P. No. 234.2(b) (relating to Subpoena. Issuance. Service. Compliance. Fees. Prisoners.). It will not be necessary that witness fees be tendered at the time of service of the subpoena, but the subpoena must include a notice that the witness may request in writing the payment of the witness fees provided in Pa.R.C.P. No. 234.2(c). The written request shall be made to the party (or his counsel) on whose behalf the subpoena is issued. The party (or his counsel) on whose behalf the subpoena is issued shall remit the witness fees to the witness within 14 days after the date of the letter requesting payment of witness fees or before the date of the hearing, whichever comes first.

(b) This section supersedes 1 Pa. Code § 35.142(b) (relating to service and return of subpoenas) and supplements 1 Pa. Code § § 35.139 and 35.142(c) (relating to fees of witnesses; and subpoenas).
