If the subpoena has been properly served, the area director or the person named in the subpoena must appear in court or at the hearing with the records described in the subpoena. The person should explain to the judge that M.G.L. c. 66A, §§ 2(c) and (k) prohibit the release of client or applicant information without the consent of the client or applicant. If the judge rules that such information must be produced, the Commission employee should attempt to make arrangements to keep the case record while turning over only photocopies thereof or, if this is not acceptable to the judge, he should retain a photocopy of any document or documents removed from the case record.
