POLICY #37
THIRD-PARTY DISCOVERY REQUEST

COSTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH THIRD-PARTY DISCOVERY REQUESTS

The costs of compliance with third-party discovery requests made to the ACEN regarding a governing organization/nursing program can be high and cannot be reasonably anticipated for budgeting purposes. To defray costs, where reimbursement for complying with a subpoena and/or third-party discovery request is not provided by the party serving the subpoena or document request, the ACEN may charge the governing organization/nursing program that is the subject of the subpoena/document request with all associated costs, including (but not limited to) the costs of production, copying, and delivering the documents as well as attorney’s fees incurred.
