Ah well I was looking forward to doing it, will just say I can't make it.

Yep. But only if your day rate is less than £32.

You are better of not responding at all and not turning up.

Strangely legal letters and letters for jury service have a habit of going missing from people's letter boxes........

Can I not say I am on holiday and then take out insurance for next time?

If you have legal expenses cover then this may also include jury cover...mine does.

Although you sound like the type that might not bother with such frivolties as insurance policies...

If you're asked to do jury service and are able to, you are legally required to go to court to be part of a jury.



Why don't you just do it?

They only pay £60 a day, if it goes on for a few weeks then Im down a lot of cash. I want to do it, but they should cover your daily rate if they expect you to show up.
