Bung:nolanz: How far away are you when you are on holiday? How soon can you respond to your contract if you are on the other island?
Who says the OP has to be on site?
Friends had two German tourists at their homestay. They slept early and got up around 3am to work remotely back in Germany..

Bung:mattwnz: Older people have far more life expericne and I believe are better rounded jurors.
Have you been on a jury? I have and seeing how some arrived at their decision is a good reason to stay out of trouble.
JimmyH: 1. Dress up to the nines. Suit, tie clip, cuff links, smart tie. In a criminal case, you are likely to be challenged by the defence lawyer and off the jury.

If I was every on trial, and could opt for judge or jury, I would select jury every time - you just need a couple of jurors to side with you...

eracode: I would love to know exactly how they select jury candidates. I am 62 and have been summoned once - in 1974. Some much younger people I worked with were summoned several times over the last 5 - 10 years.
solaybro: Can you get yourself kicked off the jury with no punishment? If so yell guilty when the defendant walks in, that should do it.
eracode:scuwp: Or simply don't turn up. Most don't and rarely does anything come of it.
Sounds like good advice to me under the circs. Seems OP has no real alternative - a wee bit of civil disobedience.

surfisup1000:alasta: Can they really throw you in jail just for not attending? I thought the penalty was just a fine.
I haven't had a summons for a long time, but if I were to get one now then I would write a long hysterical letter ranting and raving about corruption, political interference, etc. I figure that if they think I'm a nutter then I've got a better chance of getting off than if I made a perfectly reasonable request as others in this thread have done. This worked for a colleague of mine.
Some guy got sentenced to jail for 10 days last year.
A self employed engineer.
I was considering flying to Australia and working out of a friends house as being out of the country seems to be a valid reason.
networkn:
Wait wait wait. You can Fly to Australia for 10 days but can't be on the jury. This type of nonsense is why they are tightening up.
