Control of pool of jurors

8. Control of pool of jurors



(1) The pool supervisor must record the name of any person who fails to attend
the jury pool room in accordance with a summons to attend as a juror and must
cause the name of any such person to be called 3 times and, if the person
summoned does not answer to their name, the pool supervisor must advise the
Juries Commissioner, who must institute enquiries as to their non-attendance.

(2) If the Juries Commissioner determines that a person has not provided a
reasonable excuse for failing to comply with a summons for jury service, the
Juries Commissioner must advise a judge.

(3) Subject to any direction that may be given to the pool supervisor by a
judge, any question of priority in the selection and allocation of persons for
the purpose of constituting panels must be determined by the pool supervisor.
