Illustration for Juries Act 1981

When you are in a civil case and you get an order for a view, you must pay a sum of money to the Registrar. This sum is fixed according to the jury rules and is used to pay for the expenses of the view. You will get back any extra money if the sum you paid is more than enough to cover the expenses. If the sum you paid is not enough to cover the expenses, you must pay the extra amount that is needed. The Registrar uses the money you pay to cover the costs of the view. You are responsible for making sure the expenses of the view are paid.
