What happens if you are called for jury service while working on a long contract abroad? (UK question)?

Answer 1

More than likely you will be excused, but you MUST ask to be excused and inform them of your reason(s) or else you will be in trouble.

Answer 2

I was summoned for jury service. I was told that you can only get out of it with a medical certificate. Which, fortunately, I was able to obtain. If you have relatives in England, get them to call the court and see what you can do about it. However, your employer cannot dismiss you for doing jury service and they will pay all your travelling expenses (I think). As a last act, you could try the citizens advice bureau, they have solutions to many problems.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Just return the summons slip from the country in which you are residing at present. That should do the trick. If it has been forwarded to you it has probably arrived too late for the dates that you are required for anyway.

Answer 4

You apply for an exemtion from the jury, if you make stuff up and are found out then you could face criminal charges yourself.

Answer 5

Just call them and let them know, just happened to me , I moved to another state and they sent me a summons to pay $250 because I never showed up. I calledn them and they said just disreguard.

Answer 6

Just call and tell them you are not working in the country.

Answer 7

specific they'll defer you. commonly they only placed you lower back interior the random record. they don't purely set yet yet lower back. Its like a drawing. in no way knows who's call would be picked.GL

Answer 8

you have to just write to them. you can send a sick note aswell to say that you feel your medical condition (make one up) might effect your judgement.
