Why does life always have to revolve around money?whats in it for me? The saying what you lose on the swings you will gain on the roundabout comes to mind!!!!!!!
The only reason I made the original post was to try and find out if someone knew where the actual rates/caps/allowances were published so that I could check whether I have been reimbursed properly.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, or just or unjust, but everything I have read to date alludes to wages being reimbursed, so when a cheque arrives for a lot less than expected, is it not natural to want to check the information used to come up with the amount on the cheque?
Just because the Magistrates court issued the cheque doesn't mean it may have been a mistake.
If it is correct, then so be it, I have no issue with that. I would, however, like to be able to read something that sets out what can be paid back to a witness for out of pockets, again, especially as the only publications I can find from the Magistrates Court website allude to payment for lost wages.
Doing your civic duty etc and what and whether you should be recompensed for being out of pocket in doing that duty is another debate altogether and not what I was looking for with my original post.
Cheers.
