Police Can Challenge Pay Deal

In more great news for the Government, Police Federation lawyers have been told by a High Court judge that they can challenge the ruling on their recently-introduced but in-no-way-backdated 1.9% payrise.

Mr Justice Collins said he had "no hesitation" in ruling there was a case to apply for judicial review. The hearing will take place before two judges on 15 April, so expect to hear some other news items suggesting the police have overstepped their boundaries, vis-a-vis some MP bugging or what have you, some time before early April.
