NOTES

Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis v Lowrey-Nesbitt [1999] ICR 401, EAT (also reported at Times Law Reports 29th July 1998).

The full text judgment in this case is available free of charge on the BAILII website

Authority for the proposition that:-

the relationship between the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and a serving police officer is not governed by contract but rather by statute and thus a police officer is not a worker within the meaning of Employment Rights Act 1996 s.230 (and so cannot present a claim for unlawful deduction from wages under Part II of that Act).
