Is there even Jury Duty in the UK? Or is it done differently?
It's done more or less the same as far as I know. You're sent a summons and if you don't fill out the form and return it withing 7 days you can be fined up to £1,000. You can claim expenses such as food, drink and travel. You can also claim for loss of earnings if your employer doesn’t pay you during your jury service. Jury service usually lasts up to 10 working days but can be longer. You may be on a jury for more than one trial during your service.
