Yes – a party not represented by a solicitor will need the leave of the court to issue a subpoena. Applications for leave to issue a subpoena may be made to the duty registrar and should be supported by an affidavit setting out the relevance of the subpoena. See rule 7.3 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005.
