Yes Freddie as far as i know you still have to be there. I've been on jury duty twice.
and it doesn't mean you'll actually get picked to be on a jury, The defence can challenge you eg, if the case is a robbery case and you're a bank teller by profession the defence won't want you on the jury, things like that
they sort of have a pool of people to select from and it's really boring, you all have to sit quietly in a room and all there is to do is drink coffee and read newspapers

I was on the jury of a manslaughter trial about 15 years ago. It got very heated in the jury room. The men all wanted the poor bugger to hang and the women wanted to let him off. We won.
Everyone should do it at least once, too see how the law works.

Same happened with me Punch, that was about 35yrs ago, this time I could have been excused, but I have always wanted to do this, so I thought nup i'm going.
After reading the lawlink site I now see we are not required to attend tomorrow, but we are on standby for further call up.
Your panel is on standby.
Please check this page again after 4.30pm on Tuesday 8th October 2013

No, I'm pretty sure you are not required to attend but need to check after certain time for further information.

You are also required to let them know if there is anyone involved in the case you know, the person on trial, witnesses, etc.

even being called up and being present, is like being on stand by for a case.
