Things I learned today (Part 2)

You can claim for time spent doing jury service off your house insurance

How does that work?

Get a letter from court to state when you started and finished jury service and send to your insurance company. Some pay up to €50 a day up to a max of €750 with no excess.

But why would they want to do that?

Who cares?
