Each year, about 178,000 people in England and Wales undertake jury service. The Juries Act 1974 states that only those between the ages of 18 and 70 may be summoned to carry out jury service in England and Wales. This age range was last amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1988, which raised the upper limit from 65 to 70. As part of the new plans, those aged between 70 and 75 who are summoned would be expected to serve.
It also set out how people would only be excused from jury duty in âexceptional circumstancesâ. Under the new proposals, pensioners aged between 70 and 75 who are summoned on jury service would be expected to serve. However, law still allows some people to be excused when they can shown there is good reason why they are unable to take part. Jury service normally lasts 10 working days but can be longer. Failing to turn up for a confirmed jury service can carry a Â£1,000 fine. There are two million Britons in the 70 to 75 age group.
