Jury service and narcoplespy

I know that most of you are probably on your way to the Birmingham meet (lucky sods!) but I'm hoping someone might be able to help.

I received jury summons this morning but I'm not sure if I am allowed to go due to my narcolepsy. Obviously I can't predict what I will be like on the day so I am just a bit concerned that me falling asleep could jeopardise the trial. I tried calling the offices but they are closed over the weekend, there is no information on their website that is helpful. I will obviously try calling them on Monday, but I'm just getting a bit panicked, I hate things being out of my control!

Thanks in advance!

    I wouldn't panic over it; I imagine it'll be a straight yes or no from them. I imagine they'll have a list of qualifying ailments which would excuse you. Don't worry!

    You have a medical condition that they will have to make allowances for. When does the Jury service start? All you can do is inform them and then they'll have to decide whether to replace you. Try not to worry about it though.

    I wouldnt worry too much. Normally I think you need to make them aware of medical conditions then it'll be up to them to decide. Either they'll say you don't need to go or they'll make the call that theyre ok with it. Either way it then becomes their decision.

    Two entities that should never be mixed. Although I imagine that jurors fall asleep quite often...

    I predict an exemption.

    Me too. Wasn't there a case recently which was thrown out because a juror fell asleep?

    Thanks everyone Smiley smile

    Yeah I guess they must just have a list of conditions that qualify for exemption. I don't mind either way, I just don't want a case to collapse because I fall asleep Smiley winking

    Don't worry, I can imagine they'll let you off.
