Parliament has gone into urgency to pass a law retrospectively validating the oaths of 63 police officers who returned to the police in the past four years.
Unless the law is passed, any actions they undertook over those four years could be called into question by defendants.
They were wrongly sworn in by District Commanders or Inspectors, as had been the requirement of the Police Act 1958.
But the Policing Act 2008 changed the requirement and stipulated they could be sworn in only by the Police Commission or a person specifically authorised by the Commissioner.
The affected constables have since been sworn in properly.
