The subpoena was set aside because its scope was unduly wide and vague, amounted to an attempt to obtain discovery from a non-party (a fishing exercise), and the relevance and admissibility of the broad categories sought were not demonstrated by reference to the pleadings; the threshold for issuing a subpoena duces tecum is more stringent than for specific discovery and was not met here.
