I reckon he did it.

I'm fairly sure he did it.

Unfortunately, there was a tiny bit of doubt, so we found him not guilty.

Both admitted they had sex. Both admitted that he punched her in the face, knocking out some teeth. The question was whether he hit her before or after the sex.

Maybe it was during sex!

And to think you could have saved those 5 days by just finding him guilty in the first place.

indeed - if he wore a shell suit and had tattoo's he would be guilty obviously

[eek]

When I did it, half the group had four cases over the two weeks, because they finished early.

I had three days of sitting around reading my book while they hammered out the plea bargaining for two different cases. Then there was a five day rape trial, which wasn't very pleasant. After that, we got the rest of the time off.

My Son has just come off his:

10 days @64.95 = £649.50
320 miles@31.4p =£100.48
£5.71 meal allowance (he took packed lunch)=£ 57.10

Being young he was happy with £800 - what surprised me was he was on 2 cases - the expectation is you do a minimum of 10 days service so if they finish early they'll move you onto another case

Thanks for your advice on this - really helpful. I am not out to screw the system but just wanted to make sure that given I'm not in contract that I claim all appropriate expenses for someone in my position.

Could you sneak a net book in, pretend to take notes, keep on working, invoice and still claim?

Then come to a judgment call depending on how close together the defendants' eyes are.

Travel to the court, lunch while there, parking.

There's a list on the court service website of what you are entitled to claim.

That's hardly the full list that covers word "any".

[TheFaQQer]

Any expenses?

Also, claim for any expenses as appropriate.

[TheFaQQer]

So what exactly do you think you are entitled to? What have you lost?

The only thing that the OP can claim for is loss of wages.

So, don't pay yourself the salary you would have earned during this time, complete the loss of earnings form which accompanied the jury summons, and then claim the money from the court service.

Also, claim for any expenses as appropriate.

Your Ltd Co will need to give you a "Certificate of Loss of Earnings" form. Then you can claim compensation. But don't expect much. https://www.gov.uk/jury-service/what-you-can-claim

How do you lose earnings if you're out of contract?

Where his friend is now nobody can hear him screaming...

Down the back of an imaginary sofa?

Hi, I just completed a spell of Jury Service and want to claim back what I am entitled to. I am currently out of contract.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can claim and best way to go about it?
Thanks
