Article 3 Interpretation

In these Rules, unless the context otherwise requires–

• “the Act” means the Police Act 1996;

• “original hearing” means the conduct hearing or inefficiency hearing at the conclusion of which the appellant was found to have failed to meet the appropriate standard or, as the case may be, the appellant’s performance was found to have been unsatisfactory;

• “tribunal” in relation to a case means the police appeals tribunal appointed to determine that case.

In these Rules, any expression which appears also in the Police (Conduct) Regulations 1999^f1 or the Police (Efficiency) Regulations 1999^f2 shall, unless the contrary intention appears, have the same meaning as in those Regulations.
