The appellant challenged refusal of payment to her of her late husband’s police pension after she had been convicted of his manslaughter.
Held: The statutory rules were intended to operate alongside the common law rules for forfeiture, and not in substitution for them, and did not work to displace the common law as now expressed in the 1982 Act. The appeal failed.
