Hi all,
The title should say Jury Service not Just! I couldn’t work out how to edit the thread title!
I received a letter today from the Courts service stating I’ve been selected for Jury Service in August.
But I’ve got a pre booked holiday that same week, well jury service starts on the Monday but I’m away that Friday . It says to allow two weeks but sometimes longer.
The letter gives you the option to say you would like to change the date of jury service, but doesn’t give you a box to say why you can’t unless you can’t do it for the next 12 months.
It gives you the option to select three alternatives dates when you can do jury service over the next 12 months- but wouldn’t it be easier to say when you can’t do it rather than when you can?!
Will I likely be selected again , or is it completely random? You can only be excused once the forms say.
I think they’d expect people to be on holiday in August?
