Age discrimination: EAT considers forced retirement of police officers with 30 years' service
The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has heard the appeal in a test case against five police forces over the legality of a rule requiring police officers to retire after 30 years' service to cut costs.
UPDATE: The EAT published the judgment in this case on 8 July 2015. See Chief Constable of West Midlands Police and others v Harrod and others EAT/0189/14 for a law report on the judgment and guidance on the implications for employers.
