Jury service and the self employed
#1
Have any of you who are self employed been called up to do jury service? If so what are the arrangements for compensation for loss of earnings and travel costs. I have just found something on the web that refers to an allowance of £49 per day which is totally ridiculous. My wife who is self employed has been called up and can't afford to do ten days on 49 measly quid (it'll cost half that in petrol to get to the court, especially as she'll be going in my Scoob!!).
It seems like jurors are treated worse than the criminals.
Has anyone managed to get out of doing jury service? If so how?
Thanks,
Pete.

if you look on the back of the form there is a section that allows you to apply for deferal of jury service. You can also contact the scheduling office to be excused. Hope this helps.

Pete I got told last October I had to go, but i'd just started a new contract and I defferred it. I think that you can claim your income if you can prove how much you earn. I seem to remember reading this on one of the forms. Bet its Carlisle she'll be going to. I have to go in May and i'm not looking forward to it. It'll cost me a fortune to get there as well!!

Mark,
The rate you get to Carlisle I'm not surprised it costs you a fortune. Your car must fold time and space
Oh and I won't get called up either coz I've helped the law in other ways.
