Jury Service

[Garage_Doors]

Gone through the list and there don't seem to be any exclusions that apply to me.
Have i got to do it, how can get out of it legitimately ?

You have to do it unless you fall into one of the categories why you can't

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes, yes you do.

Its a lot of fun, especially when you get the 10 month fraud case.

 

[Beach Hut]

I am pretty certain I am excluded from this.

 

[TSB]

Just turn up on the first day and start making outlandish, sweeping statements about immigrants. Should see you with a week off to enjoy

 

[MissGull]

Tell them you know the person involved, or the key witness. You will then be swiftly discharged.

 

[BrickTamland]

Slightly off topic, but was thinking recently (mainly due to the Ian Watkins case), is there no option to opt out of watching certain evidence? Surely watching some of the videos described in the watkins example could have long term mental effects?

 

[Seaford by the sea]

You have one deferral but you have to agree a suitable date to complete your jury service.

Only if you want to get done for contempt of court.

I'd rather the fine/sentence than having to watch the stuff described in that particular case.

I just hope, if it's a case on for more than 2 or 3 weeks, that you don't have a job where you have targets to hit.

Might work but if it's a serious case you may end up in the dock yourself for having an association

 

[Ernest]

I got KICKED off a JURY

 

[vegster]

Do your duty and enjoy the perks.

Perks?

 

[Notters]

I'd love to do it

If a robbery just walk in say " what's the n***** done this time?"

Any kind of perceived prejudice on your behalf will sort you out...........

 

[Shoreham Gull]

I done jury, it was great they paid me for 2 weeks jury service and I got full pay from work..

Refer it to me, I'd love to do it

Call them up and ask.

I got called up to do it earlier in the year but as I'm self-employed, and it was going to potentially put a big dent in my income, they said it wasn't a problem to be excluded.

It depends what your reasons for not wanting to do it. If I was in paid employment I would be up for it, but I got the impression that if you ask you might be able to get out of it or, at least, a deferral.

Good luck!
