Definition of subpoenal

Definition: Subpoenal means something that is required or done under penalty, especially in compliance with a subpoena.

  • John was subpoenaed to appear in court and testify. He knew that if he didn't show up, he could face subpoenal consequences.
  • The company was required to turn over all of its financial records to the court as part of the subpoenal process.

These examples illustrate how subpoenal actions are taken under penalty. If John didn't show up in court, he could face legal consequences. Similarly, if the company didn't turn over its financial records, it could face penalties as well. In both cases, the actions were required by a subpoena, which is a legal order that must be followed.
