MPs are seeking to overturn a ruling that prevents police from being sued for failings in cases where evidence may have been fabricated or officers have acted dishonestly or negligently.
The proposed change would limit the protection currently provided by legal immunity. Its supporters want that immunity removed in cases involving serious failures or misconduct of this kind.
The bid focuses on whether police should remain protected from civil claims when their conduct includes dishonesty, negligence or the fabrication of evidence. The supplied material does not give further details about the ruling, the MPs involved or the next stage of the proposal.
