Exemption from jury service


If you are summoned for jury service, you should check whether you meet all the eligibility requirements as a juror and whether you belong to the categories of persons who are exempted from jury service under section 4 or 5 of the Jury Ordinance.


If you wish to seek exemption from jury service, you should write to the Registrar, High Court, setting out the reasons in full as soon as possible after:

you receive a notice from the Registrar that your name will be added to the list of jurors;copies of the provisional list or the additional list of jurors are available for inspection; or you receive the summons to appear as a juror.


The Registrar will consider your application for exemption, and may either agree to or turn down your request. Exemptions are not lightly granted. Business commitments are not normally considered to be a sufficient reason for exemption from jury service.


(Application for exemption should reach the Registrar, High Court not less than 3 working days before the date summonsed for attendance. Application MUST be made in writing and submitted by post or by fax to the Jury Clerk's Office. Please call the Jury Clerk during office hours to confirm the receipt of the application after the fax transmission. Please provide your Hong Kong Identity Card Number, correspondence address, contact telephone number, supporting documents and sign the application letter when submitting your application. Application by telephone or e-mail will not be accepted.)


If the Registrar refuses your application, you may still put the request to the trial judge if you are selected by ballot as a juror.
