Full Text of CPLR 7560
Plain-English Summary
Getting witnesses and documents to a hearing depends on the power to compel them, and CPLR 7560 gives that power to two different people: the chairperson of the arbitration panel and any attorney of record in the proceeding. Either can issue a subpoena, following the same procedure that governs subpoenas in arbitrations generally under Article 75.
Letting attorneys of record issue subpoenas directly, rather than routing every request through the panel, keeps the discovery and hearing process moving without requiring a chairperson's sign-off for routine witness or document production.
