Section O16R3Procedural
Tender of expenses to witness
Full Text
The sum so paid into Court shall be tendered to the person summoned, at the time of serving the summons, if it can be served personally.
Plain English Summary
Directs that the witness expenses deposited in court must be physically tendered to the witness at the time of personal service of summons.
Key Legal Elements
- Concurrent Tender: Payment tendered simultaneously with service of the court summons.
- Personal Service Requirement: Applies where process server or party hands summons directly to witness.
Practical Note
Practical Nuance: If the process server serves the summons without tendering diet money, the witness may raise a lawful excuse for non-attendance. Always verify on the process server's endorsement that diet money was formally tendered.
