I went to get my Drivers Licence renewed at Service NSW only to discover I have a Fine outstanding for failing to attend Jury Duty. I was completely unaware.
The offence was from a couple of years ago 1/5/2013.
The fine has been refered to the State Revenue Office and is fairly large $1700.
I was able to get my drivers licence renewed but I have to do something about the fine.
I would like to try to get the fine removed and have an 'Annulment Application for Jury Fees' form with the enforcement order number and jury reference number.
The reason why I did respond to the initial jury duty summons is that the notifications were sent to an old address that was on my drivers license and was completely unaware I had been summoned.
The reason why I did not update my address on my drivers licence is that I have not had a car for several years and so it never crossed my mind to do so.
To pay this fine would be SEVERE finanicial hardship.
I have all the details to fill in the form.
I would like some advice or help on how to word my excuse for not attending the jury service to maximise my chances of having the fine removed.
I am guessing a form filled in with all the proper legal terminology would have more chance of success.
Also, what are my chances? Do these things get removed often?
