Jury Service (Do NOT turn this into a 'how to get out of jury service' thread)

Jury service

I know, but I only have one of those - my birth certificate. I don't have a credit card or a cheque book, but If they'll except a debit card I'm fine - but all my statements are paperless. Utility bills aren't in my name.

Lots of people, including me.

anyone know where you send the expense claim form?

I believe it's to the court where you did your jury service. You should contact them to confirm.

From the link I posted previously:

You’ll be told how to claim expenses after your jury service has ended.

Contact the court where you did jury service if you have questions about expenses.

Probably about 10 times more people than did a year ago.

I've been excused from Jury Service, so relieved.

Got jury service starting on 9th June. Bit of a faff but has to be done. Hopefully the case will be at least interesting.

 

[Malevolence]

Gotta say, been there for a week now and it's very interesting seeing behind the curtain in regards to how the courts work.

I would actually like to do jury service.

But I'm not allowed because mental health diagnostics.

Just finished the first trial today. That was tough, seriously didn't think it would be as stressful as it was. Back in next week now.

I thought you hadn't actually been diagnosed with anything yet?

 

[BallistixOnZ490]

No I've been misdiagnosed with everything under the sun and given 6 medications so far that have not helped.

Everything I have been diagnosed with so far is a cop out because the NHS kept refusing ASD / ADHD testing on the basis that I have a degree.

The last thing was 'We're not saying it isn't Autism, but you told us you were hit as a child so its more likely PTSD and (unspecified) Personality Disorder'.

Already had the generic depression / anxiety diagnosis since around 2014 because all they ever do give you is a mood quiz to fill in. And their only solution to that was to try and pump me full of pills.

Well that was a waste of time.

Finished my Jury duty a few weeks ago. Didn't get called in during the first week and then the second week was a very boring and basic trial where we spent a grand total of about 4 hours in court over 5 days. Defendants were guilty as hell but there was not enough evidence to convict. I'm amazed it was brought to court honestly. Probably cost £50k+ for that charade as well. There is a damn good reason we don't bring lots of things to court and this is one of them.
