A Brisbane court has thrown out an application from two high-profile police officers who were fighting to keep their pay after being stood down over separate investigations.

Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley from the Gold Coast and Senior Constable Stephen Flanagan from western Queensland both had their pay cut by the Police Commissioner after being suspended in separate incidents.

Senior Sergeant Hurley was suspended amid several investigations, including one which focused on his involvement in a police pursuit on the Gold Coast in May 2015, where he shot at a moving car despite orders to stand down.

An interim order for their pay to continue was upheld earlier this year but Justice David Boddice dismissed their application on Friday.

Documents tendered to the Supreme Court by lawyers for the Queensland Police Union showed Senior Constable Hurley would struggle to make ends meet if he lost his $120,000 salary and Senior Constable Flanagan his $90,000 salary, claiming it was unreasonable to cut their pay.

However both officers are allowed to seek work outside the Queensland Police Service while suspended under the Police Service Administrations Act.

Justice Boddice dismissed both cases and delivered separate judgements finding "no legal unreasonableness" had been shown.

"There also has been no denial of natural justice," he said.
