The respondent served and filed a valid r9.74 notice requiring production; the applicant's solicitor's letter did not constitute a refusal to produce and the respondent took steps in the proceeding, so the Hendersons were required to attend. Witness travel costs are disbursements under r14.12 and, being specific to the proceeding, reasonably necessary and reasonable in amount, they are recoverable. The statutory witness allowances no longer apply, so only actual travel costs (airfare and mileage) were allowed, certified at $524.92.
