- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Subpoena duces tecum: A command to a witness to produce documents.

The court shall not exclude any question or document if it appears that the information may possibly relate to any matter with respect to which the action is pending.
