just coincidental they are planning an announcement a few days after a budget that is expected by many to be badly received

I'd never try it myself, but a quick google shows that if you have a certificate saying you have claustrophobia you could indeed be excused.

I reckon if you turned up wearing an ACAB t-shirt, you’d soon be excused. 🙂

Merely asserting you had a health/disability 'out' would not be enough. However if you had decent supporting medical evidence it might get you released.

My mum has done it twice, both times lasted a couple of weeks IIRC. The only other person I know who was called up was my mate at Uni. He was a student from Ireland, I think he just said he was a student and they exempted him

The changes worry me mainly from the driving underlying reasons. I can appreciate that some trials might be better suited to judges or only need magistrates, etc. but the case for such changes would be driven by the nature of the cases.
What seems to be being proposed now is driven by chronic under-investment. Despite ongoing warnings, despite gradually worsening backlogs politicians have failed to bother to resolve or even mitigate a well identified problem so now, to address the dire situation changes being pushed on financial cost basis rather than serving better justice. Broad sweeping changes based on cost cutting without much consideration for the nature of the cases nor the resulting justice.
