A POLICE employee sacked for claiming psychics should be used to crack crimes won a landmark ruling that his views should be regarded as a faith.
Alan Power, 62, of Birkenhead, claims he was forced out of his job with Greater Manchester police because of his spiritualist views.
Judge Peter Clark dismissed an appeal from the police authority that Mr Power’s beliefs did not amount to a religious or philosophical viewpoint.
Mark Hill QC, for the authority, said the ruling could open the “floodgates” to a series of claims, but the appeal was dismissed.
Judge Clark said: “There is no suggestion he does not genuinely believe in the faith.”
