Appeal by a member of a home police force
H5.—(1) Where a member of a home police force, or a person claiming an award in respect of such a member, is aggrieved by the refusal of the police authority to admit a claim to receive as of right an award or a larger award than that granted, or by the forfeiture under Regulation K5 by the police authority of any award granted to or in respect of such a member, he may, subject to Regulation H7, appeal to the Crown Court and that court, after enquiring into the case, may make such order in the matter as appears to it to be just.
(2) In the case of a member of a Scottish police force, paragraph (1) shall have effect as if any reference to the Crown Court were a reference to the sheriff having jurisdiction in the place where the person concerned last served as such a member.
(3) The provisions of section 5(1) and (5) of the Police Pensions Act 1948(1) (appeals), as they have effect under section 12(2) of the Police Pensions Act 1976(2), shall not apply in relation to an award under these Regulations.
