(3) Subject to these regulations, where the summoning officer is satisfied that a person attending as a juror has by reason of so attending lost income in an amount greater than the fee prescribed by subregulation (1), the summoning officer may pay the person a fee that equals that loss, but the amount paid in respect of any one day must not exceed $500.
(1) Subject to these regulations, persons summoned and attending as jurors shall be paid an allowance for road travel each way at the rate of 37.5 cents per kilometre.
(2) Where a juror travels together with another juror on the same vehicle only one allowance prescribed under subregulation (1) shall be paid.
(3) Where a train or other public conveyance is available for the purpose a juror shall be paid only the fares incurred by him.
The Government reserves the right to supply a conveyance in lieu of fare or allowance for road travel.
Should a juror be serving on a case which is adjourned he shall receive either a return fare or an allowance for road travel at the prescribed rate, to enable him to return to his home during such adjournment or payment for the period of such adjournment, whichever gives the lower total.
If the Court adjourns from the Friday to the Monday a juror may be allowed pay for the Saturday, provided he has lost his ordinary emoluments for that day.
When jurors are excused or temporarily discharged by the Court for a specific period pending the hearing of a case in which some other jury is empanelled, or some other case being heard, a juror shall receive no pay for such period unless he can show actual loss in no way due to his own action.
In extraordinary circumstances such remuneration may be allowed as shall be decided by the Attorney General after taking the circumstances into consideration.
The party applying for or requiring a jury in a civil trial shall deposit with the summoning officer the sum of forty dollars ($40) per juror per day but where the amount paid to a juror is less than $40 per day the balance of the amount deposited by the party applying for the civil trial after payment to a juror pursuant to the provisions of regulation 2 shall be refunded to that party.
No fees, other than travelling expenses, shall be paid to jurors who are officers or employees of Government departments or State instrumentalities or trading concerns and whose salaries or wages are paid in the ordinary course while attending Court as jurors.
