§ 12. Attendance of witness and production of documents. The port
authority shall have the power to compel the attendance of witnesses and
the production of any papers, books or other documents, and to
administer oaths to all witnesses who may be called before it.
Subpoenas issued by the port authority shall be signed by a commissioner
or by the secretary of the port authority. No witness subpoenaed at the
instance of parties other than the port authority shall be entitled to
compensation therefrom for attendance or travel, but the cost thereof
shall be borne by the party at whose instance the witness is summoned,
unless the port authority otherwise orders. A subpoena issued under this
section shall be regulated by the civil practice law and rules.
