Gov’t Obtains Injunction Against The Police Federation

The gov­ern­ment has obtained an injunc­tion from the Supreme Court against the Executive of the Police Federation and all its mem­bers. The injunc­tion bars them from con­tin­u­ing any indus­tri­al action in the form of with­hold­ing their ser­vices. In a state­ment issued short­ly after mid­night, the Attorney General said all mem­bers of the Federation are restrained for a peri­od of 28 days from with­hold­ing their services.

All police offi­cers who are with­hold­ing their ser­vices by way of “sick out” and/​or oth­er indus­tri­al action have to report for work until a fur­ther order of the court, or for a peri­od of 28 days, whichev­er is ear­li­er. The Attorney General has warned the Executive and mem­ber­ship of the Police Federation that fail­ure to com­ply with the terms of the Supreme Court Order will result in them being in con­tempt of court and liable to hav­ing their assets being con­fis­cat­ed.
