Abstract
This article examines the Crown-Servant employment relationship in the UK, although examples from some commonwealth jurisdictions are also included. First, the nature of the civil servant's relationship with the Crown is distinguished from the military servant's relationship with the Crown. The focus of the article is on the former. Second, the article explores the nature and effect of public policy on this relationship. Then, the effect of public policy on the rights of civil servants contained in Crown contracts in regard to dismissal, suspension, transfer, leave, arrears of salary, and pensions is discussed.
