Declined once, served once.
Not sure if IPSE would cover a later jury service.
The first question is "1. When were you advised by the court that you were required to undertake Jury Service?". For me this is Saturday 11 February, 3 days after I took out the membership. I don't think they should count the printing/issue day since no-one can receive their summons on the same day it's printed, so they can't commit insurance fraud like that. Even if it was sent by next day delivery, I would have only gotten it on the 9th, the day after I started membership.Comment

Reminds me of the day many moons ago I told me IFA to cancel the income protection insurance. Look, I said, I'm paying this out every month and it doesn't seem to anything, lets get rid of it. To which he replied, great... now put on this here paper the future dates you're planing to come down with a terminal illness or some other* that'll keep you from working.

Originally posted by Rabotnik View PostOf course, that was crucial to the tragedy of my tale.
I spoke to a lady at IPSE and after she spoke to her manager she said I would only have been covered if they issued it on the 9th, but I do think the wording in the claim document refers to "Receipt Date", not "Date of Issue" - which is what appears at the bottom of the summons. They should have just asked "What is the Date of Issue of the Summons?". Nothing I can do about it now I think, will just have to see what happens.Comment

It says "at the time of the summons". Do you have a claim form that says receipt date? If so, ask again and point that out to them.Comment
