Formation of panel of jurors

Whenever it is necessary to summon a jury, the Registrar shall select from the list of jurors, by ballot or by any other method of random selection, such number of jurors as a judge shall direct to form a panel. Whenever from any cause any juror who has been selected cannot be served the Registrar shall select a further juror to complete the number required for such panel. Such panel shall attend and serve for such a period as the judge shall direct. Whenever the judge so directs the Registrar shall divide such panel equally into 2 or more sets, and the first of such sets shall attend and serve, and the second and any subsequent set shall attend and serve, for such respective periods as the judge shall
direct:
