EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of these Rules)
These Rules amend the Police Appeals Tribunals Rules 2012 (“the 2012 Rules”) to make provision in relation to appeals brought under rule 4 of the 2012 Rules in respect of decisions made under the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012 (”the 2012 Regulations”). The provisions govern the information which may be published in respect of appeal hearings and the holding of those hearings in public.
Rule 3 amends rule 4 of the 2012 Rules so as to enable a senior officer against whom an order is made under regulation 35(12) or 55(11) of the 2012 Regulations (an order in relation to the compensation payable to the officer in the event that the officer’s fixed term of appointment is not extended or the officer is required to resign before the expiry of the fixed term) to appeal against the order.
Rule 4 amends rule 14 of the 2012 Rules to enable the chair (defined in rule 3 of the 2012 Rules) to arrange for the publication of certain information about an appeal hearing at least 5 working days before the hearing starts and to receive written representations in relation to attendance at the hearing and publication of information about the hearing. Rule 5 substitutes a new rule 18 to provide, subject to exceptions, that an appeal hearing under rule 4 of the 2012 Rules takes place in public. Rules 6 to 8 make consequential amendments to rules 19 to 21 of the 2012 Rules. Rule 9 amends rule 22 of the 2012 Rules to enable the chair to arrange for the publication of certain information about an appeal hearing between 5 and 10 working days after its conclusion and to consider representations in relation to that power. Rule 9 also ensures that the relevant local policing body notifies the College of Policing where a dismissed officer is reinstated on appeal and that an order made under regulation 35(12) or 55(11) of the 2012 Regulations is cancelled where the final written warning to which that order related is cancelled as a result of an appeal.
Rule 10 makes transitional provision in relation to the coming into force of provisions in these Rules.
