Notts Police can appeal 'on all counts'
Alex Smith
BBC News Online
Following Mr Gray's High Court hearing, the force was refused permission to appeal against the ruling.
But Nottinghamshire Police has confirmed it has now been permitted to appeal “on all counts”.
However, a force spokesman said it would be “inappropriate” to comment further.
The case will be heard at the Court of Appeal in London at a later date.
Mr Gray did not wish to make a comment when contacted by the BBC.
Force can challenge decision over PC cleared of rape
Alex Smith
BBC News Online
Nottinghamshire Police has been granted permission to appeal a High Court ruling which stated it was wrong not to reinstate a former detective.
Trevor Gray was accused of raping a 43-year-old woman while off duty at a house in Nottingham in 2011.
He was jailed in 2012 but his conviction was quashed a year later after his wife traced a key witness.
He was cleared of all charges after a retrial in 2014 and a Police Appeals Tribunal board ruled he could return to work.
But Mr Gray was suspended by the force in April 2014 – a decision later upheld by another tribunal.
Two years later, Mr Gray was granted a judicial review into his dismissal, and in July last year a High Court judge said the force was wrong not to reinstate him.

'Absolutely right' to invite Trump to UK
Dave Wade
BBC Local Live
Prime Minister Theresa May announced the state visit during a visit to Washington for talks with Mr Trump last month.
This resulted in two petitions - one against a state visit, which got 1.85 million signatures, and one in favour which got 311,000 - which triggered a debate in Parliament yesterday.
There were protests in Westminster too yesterday.

Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan said: "We believe it is absolutely right that we should use all the tools at our disposal to build common ground with President Trump."
Trump protest 'won't change a thing'
Facebook
Opinion's divided on the Trump protest through Nottingham last night over on our Facebook page.
Daniel Kerley said: "This isn't going to change a thing .. Stop throwing your toys out the pram and accept it. Your little banners and shouting won't make a slight bit of difference."
But Jennifer Milward wrote: "If you need explaining why Trump is bad for everyone then you have your head buried so far into the sand that kids have started planting flags between your toes."
Gareth Davies was more concerned with the disruption it caused: "Trump is an odious and thoroughly unpleasant man, but is he or indeed the Government going to care about a few protestors in Nottingham? No they won't."
