Napier High Court & District Court
All Jurors who have been summoned for the week beginning:
Monday 15 September 2025 should come to:
· The Napier District Court Jury Assembly area (ground floor)
· By 9am on Monday 15 September 2025
Please allow extra time to find a park and enter the Courthouse as access around the building vicinity is currently under construction. This has impacted carpark availability nearby.
If your application to be deferred or excused has been declined and you wish to appeal, you will need to make a verbal application to the judge if you are balloted for trial. Please note that there will be some waiting time, so it is recommended that you bring something to read or do. There is also free public WIFI available.
When you are required to attend, it is strongly recommended that you park in an all-day car park. We are not able to release you to move your vehicle during the empanelment process and therefore any infringement notices will be your responsibility.
Parking options can be found at: https://www.napier.govt.nz/services/parking/wheretopark/(external link)
Alternatively, you may wish to use the ParkMate option. Download the ParkMate App and follow the instructions: https://www.napier.govt.nz/services/parking/parkmate-parking-app/(external link)
Please be aware that you will need to park in an all-day ParkMate park, as the App does not allow you to use a 2-hour Parkmate park and “feed the meter”.
Please keep all parking receipts as the Ministry of Justice will fully reimburse you at the end of our jury service.
Your contribution to the New Zealand justice system and your community is valued and appreciated.
