EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
JURY EXEMPTION ACT 1965
JURY EXEMPTION REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
(STATUTORY RULES 1990 No.205)
The purpose of the regulation is to amend the Jury Exemption Regulations to exempt from jury service in all Federal, State and Territory courts certain Commonwealth employees who hold, or for the time being perform the duties of, the position of Assistant Secretary, North America and Europe Branch in the Department of Defence and the positions of Parliamentary Liaison Officer in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The absence on jury service of these Commonwealth employees would cause serious inconvenience in administration.
