Regulation 6 Legal representation
Where a police officer is required to attend a third stage meeting under regulation 28, he has the right to be legally represented at such meeting by a relevant lawyer of his choice.
If such an officer chooses not to be legally represented—
such meeting may take place and he may be dismissed or receive any other outcome under regulation 38(2) or (5) without his being legally represented; and
the panel conducting such meeting may nevertheless be advised by a relevant lawyer at the meeting in accordance with regulation 36(4).
Except in a case where the officer concerned has the right to be legally represented and chooses to be so represented, he may be represented at a meeting under these Regulations only by a police friend.
A third stage meeting under regulation 28 shall not take place unless the officer concerned has been notified in writing of the effect of this regulation.
