What a total waste of public money cases like these are.

This former policeman was sacked for gross misconduct years ago.

The Police then take more disciplinary proceedings against this guy, saying they could have sacked him twice, rather than once.

Seriously-wouldn't public resources be better spent on policing, or sacking bad policemen who are still policemen, rather than this irrelevance?

I usually try and avoid any legal comment. But, to boil this decision down:-

"Misconduct" merits a disciplinary sanction within the disciplinary framework
"Gross misconduct" merits summary (instant) dismissal, without notice, etc.

This Tribunal appears to be saying this was the former, rather than the latter.
