Defering jury service because of distance
My father in law is 64 and has been summoned for jury service, he lives 30 miles from the court in a very rural area, buses to the main town do not travel through the village so he would have to get a taxi to the main town (approx £10) and then a train from the main town to the city (approx £20 return), we estimate his expenses to be approx £40 per day just for travelling, he had to come out of work a year ago due to ill health but has now been passed fit and healthy but has yet to find employment as where he lives and his age go against him so is curently on unemployment benefit. The journey would take him about two hours each way, could this be grounds for not having to do the jury service?
