PAY AWARD 2007 - RESULT OF JUDICIAL REVIEW
The announcement has been made today, 10 June 2008, that a Judicial Review into the Police Pay Award 2007 has been refused.
The judgement recognises that,
"…Police Officers are in a difficult position over pay. They are denied the right to strike. In its' place is put negotiating and arbitration machinery, but the outcome of these processes is not binding on the eventual decision maker, the Home Secretary".
On 12 June 2008 the Staff Side of the Police Negotiating Board will meet with their legal team to discuss the judgement, its' implications and the option of making an application to appeal against the decision.
A further DPF update will be issued following the outcome of this meeting.
The Judicial Review is available here as a pdf file.
Paul O'Neill
General Secretary
