A Warrant for the Arrest of a Witness in a Civil Case is an order issued by a court directing law enforcement to apprehend a witness in a civil case. This type of warrant is usually issued when a witness fails to appear for a deposition, trial, or other hearing in a civil case. The warrant typically states the name of the witness, the court that issued the warrant, the date of the hearing that the witness failed to appear for, and a description of the witness. There are two types of Warrant for the Arrest of a Witness in a Civil Case: an Order to Show Cause and a Subpoena Ducks Cecum. An Order to Show Cause is an order issued by a court directing a witness to appear and explain why they failed to appear for the hearing in the civil case. A Subpoena Ducks Cecum is an order issued by a court directing a witness to provide documents or other evidence that is relevant to the case. The documents or evidence must be provided to the court or the party that requested the documents. Both types of warrants are enforced by law enforcement and the witness can be arrested if they fail to comply with the order.
