The claimant had joined the police force as a probationary constable. He was dismissed because the chief constable considered that restrictions which they would have to place on his deployments because of events before he was taken on, made his deployment untenable. He had been found not guilty of sexual offences against young girls, but professionals of partner agencies had urged caution.
Held: The chief constable had been entitled to reach the conclusion he had using regulation 13.
