Terrible luck! SHLTNLUK(Should Have Listened To NLUK)

Just tell them you are regular on CUK and claim exemption on mental grounds

Other
anyone suffering from mental disorder
anyone unable to understand the English Language

The bar for mental disorder is fairly low a friend has mild OCD and was exempted, I suppose they don't want anyone who might appear impaired serving.

Or find God

Clergy or religious bodies
anyone in Holy Orders or a regular minister of any religious denomination
vowed members of any religious order living in a monastery, convent or other religious community
practising members of a religious society or order the tenets or beliefs of which are incompatible with jury service

Though a few people on here might get away with the understanding English language.

They might exempt you if you send in a query checking that you're allowed to serve as someone who believes in the extermination of lesser races.

Defer it so when you are called up next time you are covered

It rhymes with GRAPE

I think that teapot has the right answer but it doesn't rhyme with grape?

"Jury service can be deferred, but it is the date of the initial summons which determines whether cover will be provided."

My IPSE membership ended last November and I was dithering about renewing it since I thought there was no point and mentioned it in a thread where NLUK chastised me for not understanding the benefits. Woe unto me for not heeding his words of foretelling!

I just started a new gig in January, so last Wednesday (8 Feb) I thought fok it, I'll be a responsible grown up now and get the Plus membership with the insurances included. Then on Saturday (11 Feb) I get a jury summons in the post...

So I called IPSE this morning to see if I'll be covered and they said no, since the summons was issued on 8 Feb (the same day I signed up). They said if I'd signed up 1 day earlier or the summons had been printed one day later I would have been covered.

Get it deferred, they are usually OK with a good reason (make something up if you have to). It worked for my wife, mind you her jury summons did coincide with our honeymoon.

no she slathers me with love. frequently.

Cornflake pissing is more The Donald's preference allegedly, I assumed it was you & MF that supplied that service.

And she's regretted deferring the Jury service ever since.....
