Napier High Court & District Court
All Jurors who have been summoned for the week beginning MONDAY 25 August 2025 should come to:
- The Napier District Court Jury Assembly area (ground floor)
- by 9:00am on MONDAY 25 August 2025
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.
IMPORTANT - Major building works outside the courthouse are currently underway which impacts the footpath, as well as access to the front entrance of the courthouse. Please therefore allow EXTRA TIME when parking and making your way into the building.
Parking options can be found at:
Alternatively, you may wish to use the ParkMate option. Download the Parkmate App and follow the instructions:
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.
