Reply to: Length of jury service

[TheFaQQer]

When I did it, the trial was a week, but total jury service lasted two weeks.

Chances of a deferral these days are slim. Of course, you could just not turn up and claim that you never received the summons, but I believe that if called, one should have a duty to serve - if the more intelligent in society don't serve, then we can hardly complain about how the scum get off. (Or to be more accurate, we can - that's what the Daily Heil is for, after all - but we shouldn't).

People who have done how long has the case lasted for ?

Had the letter today such bad timing starts 2 weeks before contract ends and I need a renewal, recon I could get a deferal on that ?

Are you a PCG member? You have jury service cover up to £300/day I believe (check the t's and c's though)...

Not the fact that you are a giant alien lizard and tried to eat the defence council

We don't have a defence council [sic] in this country - that's the Septics

[bobhope]

Do you have to produce ID when attending?

Otherwise, could be a good time to employ a temp.

They do not mind at all if you ask to defer once.

I asked for a deferral and got the recall nine months later.

Plead insanity.

It's worked for me.

Just pop your letter back in the post with "No longer at this address" written on it.

Worked for me.

(weird, when I pressed the Quote button, your text came up as just a few dots. I wonder what that's about)

I'll blame it on the joys of flu...

I await the corrections with eagerness.

I hear that racist masogonist's that suffer from misandry rarely get to actually sit through a court case.

If you wade through the usual crap from the usual suspects, there's some decent advice on seeking a deferment in previous threads on the subject:
