                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUBPOENAS, DEPOSITIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS (§ 2.2-4022)

The agency or its designated subordinates may, and on request of any party to a
case shall, issue subpoenas requiring testimony or the production of books,
papers, and physical or other evidence. Any person so subpoenaed who objects
may, if the agency does not quash or modify the subpoena at his timely request
as illegally or improvidently granted, immediately procure by petition a
decision on the validity thereof in the circuit court as provided in §
2.2-4003; and otherwise in any case of refusal or neglect to comply with an
agency subpoena, unless the basic law under which the agency is operating
provides some other recourse, enforcement, or penalty, the agency may procure an
order of enforcement from such court. Depositions de bene esse and requests for
admissions may be directed, issued, and taken on order of the agency for good
cause shown; and orders or authorizations therefor may be challenged or enforced
in the same manner as subpoenas. Nothing in this section shall be taken to
authorize discovery proceedings.
