Jury Service

[Troll]

Hate to break this to you but they will only compensate for expenses and actual lost earnings up to £59.96 per day, they will want to see proof. So it will only help if Mrs Troll is on your company payroll.

I had to do Jury Service last year, after 7 days on a trial I handed in my evidence of earnings and the clerk's jaw hit the floor. She said "You do realise that the most we can pay out is £59 a day?". I was discharged after that.

you've just ruined my weekend ....

Sorry. Maybe you can come up with a short contract from your co that your wife won't be able to do because she is in court.

The evidence of earnings that I submitted for myself was a letter to the court from myself as director on headed paper. I wasn't sure that they would accept that on its own but they did.

Not that I am advocating fraud of course . A court has to be about the last place that you would want to do that

I recently did jury service and presented them with a letter from my accountants showing loss of earnings.

You actually deal with the jury officers at the court who, as long as the letter looks legit, just pass it on to HMCS for payment. i.e they do not ask any questions.
