I was recently called for jury service, I was selected on a case and was in court for 10 days.
My employer paid me in full as they are obliged to do, so I was not out of pocket in any way by serving.
Some friends have said I should also claim on my home insurance, that it is an entitlement regardless of whether my employer pays me or not.
Seems odd to me that I could be better off by €400 for the two weeks that I served.
Surely you need to have suffered a financial loss to make a claim.
With Aviva anyway it doesn't affect your no claims bonus.
Anyone ever claimed this €40 daily payment for jury service ?
Is it an entitlement regardless of whether you have a financial loss or not ?
As it happens my insurer Allianz don’t cover jury service, I’m just curious.
