A witness cannot demand witness fees in advance. However, the court, at its discretion, may order the county auditor to pay witness fees to a witness. (PC 1329; GC 68093) The subpoena must include notice that the witness may be entitled to receive fees and mileage and indicate generally the manner in which a request or claim for fees and mileage should be made. (PC 1329.1)
Note: GC 72232 repealed effective January 1, 2003 due to the unification of the courts. It was replaced by GC 68093.
