To reiterate: ifyou are given a summons by the court, in person attendance is mandatory (applies to all 13 provinces). If either the lawyer or judge has selected you as the juror and being presented with evidence relevant to the case: what types of cases were you assigned whilst being a part of the jury? Also, what are the consequences if individuals failed on showing up to court at the appointed date in Canada?

For the second, failure to appear is contempt of court. In practice, failure to appear for jury selection usually just results in your name going in the next pool,

When I was at selection, the judge issued warrants for the people who were summoned and failed to appear (or failed to arrange to be excused).
