....and this evening BI ONLINE were to ask me why I had filled in the form 'incorrectly' in their view...okay so this is a little complicated to explain but you will probably agree, after I have done so...that I had filled in that form the 'intelligent' way....

anyway, have a look at the form first....and BI's question...in relation to why didn't I just go to  part 5 when told to do so....read on:

...and so why had I chosen to fill in part 3 (deferral and excusal) and part 4 (disability and special needs)...instead of going straight to part 5 'declaration'?

it is because I had chosen to pre-empt the ill....having already scanned to find out what they had been planning to do i.e. request that I come in for a 'pre-service visit' in order to assess my 'abilities'....and why would they be allowed to do that?

have a look at BOX A:

 

as you can see - nothing in BOX A actually disqualifies me from jury service because none of the first batch of bullet-points are applicable to myself.

However, the second batch of bullet-points regarding 'mental capacity' are all applicable to myself in that I can place a tick beside each and every one of them...meaning? that the ill had figured that this was a 'grey area' and a loophole in which they could demand that I come in for an 'ability assessment' - to then entrap me...go figure:

 

and that is why, dear reader...I was to fill in parts 3 and 4...to then include a letter all about carney's diagnosis of terminal 'persistent delusionary disorder' as well as documented proof....in order to pre-empty the ill...to basically shut them down before they even got started....

 

....because if I had just gone on to part 5 after part 2...I would then have received a letter...demanding that I go in for a pre-service 'ability' assessment....in relation to 'mental capacity'....go figure.
