Yes, of course. That's a very important point. I didn't mean to imply that there should be no excusals for jury service. We do have grounds for excusal if you're summoned and you have a legitimate reason. That includes medical reasons for why it would be difficult for you to serve, and also caring responsibilities. Some people are not able to devote the time to jury service. The issue of income is particularly relevant, let's say, for self-employed people here. Jurors in this country are paid for jury service. They are paid loss of earnings, but there's a maximum, close to £100 a day.
Now for some people, that's going to be below their income. For some people it will be above, but you have to make a case to the jury central summoning bureau that you have a legitimate financial reason for not doing jury service.
