Do you know what options you have available to you in preparing documents to be produced in court? Especially if these documents are of a sensitive nature or record communications between you and your lawyers?

This is part three of our five part series on subpoenas, what they mean for you and your business, and the options available to deal with them.

So far, we have examined the effect of subpoenas, and the grounds upon which you might ask the court to set one aside.

This instalment deals with the two options available to you if you wish to protect any sensitive information, including documents recording communications between you and your lawyers, and information containing commercially sensitive information.

How To Draft A Defence And Reply

Queensland civil procedure requires defendants to respond to each factual allegation with precision—admissions, denials, or non-admissions must be properly explained, while inadequate responses risk being treated as admissions. Replies serve a distinct and limited purpose, addressing only new matters raised in the defence that could affect the claim's maintainability or introduce unexpected factual questions.
