New York Third-Party Summons (Brooklyn) is a legal document issued by the court as an order to compel a person or organization to appear in court or provide information related to a case. It is commonly used when a witness or other third party is necessary to a case, but cannot or will not voluntarily appear. There are two main types of New York Third-Party Summons (Brooklyn): the Order to Show Cause (NTSC) and the Subpoena Ducks Cecum (SET). An Order to Show Cause is an order issued by the court to a person or organization to appear at a specified time and place to provide testimony or evidence related to a case. This type of summons is commonly used in civil and family court proceedings. The Subpoena Ducks Cecum is a court order requiring the recipient to produce documents or other tangible items for examination in court. This type of summons is commonly used in criminal proceedings.
