Jury Service/Duty

greenspurs

Was recently called up for duty/service, but due to illness i wasnt able to attend selection.
I rang up said "i was ill", woman said "okay , ill mark you out sick".

Is that it then?
What happens next? Will i still be called.
I was legitimately sick, and i dont mind attending, but i was wondering does anyone know if i will still be called up , or am i finished ?

They usually look for proof of illness....

You could be called again yes.
The only way you will never be called is if they take you off.

There is a form with the summons that you should complete and return, explaining that you phoned already.

Or... Become a priest, or any other excused professions.

Here's what you need to do OP: "You cannot be excused from jury service over the phone"

The slight difference is that i didnt ask to be excused, i had replied and agreed to be part of the jury selection.
Unfortunately i had a bad reaction after jab, was off work for 2 days, and there was no way i could attend .

I rang the number on the leaflets, and told them i was sick and could not travel, the woman said Thats ok, ill mark you off sick.

It’s very easy to not do it if you don’t want to, but I do consider it a dooty (duty).

I'm so glad this thread is also called Jury Service. (Jury Duty sounds so American.)
