Victorian court matters will remain in limbo for more than a week before an urgent bill to rectify the wrongful swearing in of hundreds of police is introduced to parliament.
Victoria Police revealed on Thursday an administrative bungle had led to the wrongful swearing in of 1076 police officers, 157 protective service officers and 29 police custody officers, over eight years.
The mistake means some officers have been making arrests, pressing charges and issuing orders without valid powers.
