Had a letter through today, saying, being as you do not qualify for jury service, you will not have too attend on the date that was given. I do not qualify? Any legal people on here that can explain this?
Convicted criminals and non-nationals don't qualify for jury service. which are you huth ? or are you both ?
Yes i have convictions, thats why i wondered why i got the first letter, doesn't take much ****ing checking does it, if they checked properly, it would save ****ing thousands & thousands of pounds.
There are very few reasons why you cannot be called for jury service. If you are between 18 and 70 you will be called unless you have ever had a prison or youth custody sentence of more than five years, have been in prison or youth custody for any length of time in the last ten years or have or have had a mental health condition or mental disability. So its one of them.
People are excused from jury service if: * they are currently a resident in a hospital or other similar institution, due to attend a hospital appointment or operation or recovering from an operation; * they regularly visit a medical practitioner for treatment; * they are in guardianship under section 7 of the Mental Health Act 1983; * a judge has decided they are not capable of managing and administering property or affairs because of mental disorder/mental health problem;[19] * other medical reasons preclude their service. Medical certificates are only required if the Jury Central Summoning Bureau asks for one; * they have already booked and paid for an important family event such as a wedding or a holiday; * they have urgent work commitments which, if not completed on time, would have a detrimental effect to their business; * they have been on jury service in the past two years (except coroner's juries), or the individual has been exempted from jury service for a period of time that has not yet ended. For example, the judge presiding over the Harold Shipman murder trial excused jurors from serving again for life. Individuals need to show the Jury Central Summoning Bureau evidence of this.[20] * they are a full-time member of Her Majesty's naval, military or air forces and their commanding officer certifies that their absence would prejudice the efficiency of the service. Come on then Huth, fess up. It has to be one of the above.
Then you're talking pish. Those are the only reasons for not being qualified to attend jury service in England and Wales.
Then if its none of the above, it could be that they selected you as part of the provisional 20 and then you didnt get selected for the final 12.
I had a letter 2-3 weeks ago, which i did do a thread about on here, you had too send the letter back which i did, got another letter this week saying i did not qualify, so do not report to said court. I am not ****ing lying
Allow me to shed some light on this. You have clearly been identified as being what we legal professionals call a total wrong 'un.
Are you the accused? You can't sit on the jury at your own trial. Although I think that's a stupid rule.
