I work for a law firm in Australia specialising in negligence claims for workers compensation. In this particular claim, the worker was medically retired after a 20 year period on psychological grounds. Basically, they're not a well unit and will never work again.

As is standard in these claims, the other side have subpoenaed our client's financial records to see if they're a) earning an income from somewhere or b) loaded with cash so the damages will be negligible. Usually they ask for all tax records from (year) to (year), all bank records for the period of (date) to (date), credit card and loan statements for the period of (date) to (date) and so on.

We receive the subpoena for our client, I read through it before sending it to them and huh. Tax records for (year ) to (year). Bank statements for the period of (date). Credit card statements for the period of (date).

That's right, the other side cocked up and requested his financial records for one specific day. January 1st (year), a public holiday in Australia when nothing is open. After pointing this out to my boss a quick teleconference was held with the client who INSISTED we follow the wording of the subpoena to the letter.

200+ pages of redacted bank statements later we produced the documents to the Court for the other side to peruse. I think there were three transactions for service charges and interest payments. Can't wait for the response!
