Article 210

At any stage the court may order the parties or third persons to produce documents and any particular document to be produced shall be described in the court-order and the summons with reasonable accuracy.

Whosoever is summoned by court order to produce a document shall either attend to produce it, or cause it to be produced, at such time at the latest and place as the court has determined.

Any person may be summoned to produce a document, without being summoned to give evidence and any person summoned merely to produce a document shall be deemed to have complied with the summons if he causes such document to be produced instead of attending personally to produce the same.

A third person under the obligation to produce a document is, with the exception of the sub-Articles (2) and (3), under the same obligations and has the same rights as a witness.

The court shall receive the documents so produced, which shall be accompanied by an accurate list thereof.

Except with leave of the court, no document that should be but is not produced by a party to the suit in due time shall be received at a later stage in the suit on behalf of that party.
