Juries: Allowances
(asked on 31st October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what overnight allowance is paid to jurors in trials in the High Court who have to stay overnight in London to attend a trial.
This question was answered on 8th November 2018
The High Court has not conducted a jury trial since 2016. Use of juries in High Court trials is rare. When juries are used, the jurors are called from within Greater London through the Jury Central Summonsing Bureau. No overnight allowance is payable and the need for overnight accommodation is not envisaged.
