If a person loses income as a result of a day or part‑day of jury service and the loss is greater than the fee prescribed under subregulation (1), the summoning officer may, on application by the person, pay a fee for the day that equals the loss.
The fee payable under subregulation (2) cannot exceed $1 000 unless the summoning officer is satisfied that —
the person’s lost income is greater than $1 000; and
not paying a fee equal to the loss would cause undue hardship to the person.
The application must —
be in a form approved by the summoning officer; and
include or be accompanied by the information required by the summoning officer; and
be made within 3 months after the last day of the period of jury service.
Despite subregulation (4)(c), the summoning officer may extend the period for making an application for a further period not exceeding 1 year if satisfied that exceptional circumstances exist.
