If no objection is made, or a timely objection is overruled by the Chair of the Trustees the Director shall issue the subpoena. The subpoenaed party shall appear or produce the documents, whichever is directed by the subpoena. Any such documents will be produced to the Clients' Security Fund Trustees by delivery to the Office of Bar Counsel, which shall provide copies to the claimant and the attorney against whom the claim is made.
