Got a citation this week, planning to apply for exemption on the basis of caring for my mum, has anyone done this successfully?

I did jury service in July and thoroughly enjoyed it after years of wanting to be called.

However understandably for some people it isn’t possible to commit the time, I am sure they will be very understanding.

Just to say under jury service in England & Wales if you cannot be a juror be sure to return the appropriate forms saying that. Also remember if you are released from jury duty on one occasion you may be called again in the future.

I'm sending the exemption application in.

In normal circumstances I would do it, but I'm already stretched between running my business and looking after my mum.
