Post Office scandal: 'It’s been a strange 15 years'
Mr Gant's case was heard alongside Amanda and Norman Barber, of Warrington, who ran the Thelwall Post Office in 2011, Mohammed Aslam of Newport who ran the Post Office in Albion Square, Balbir Grewal of Romford who ran the Hockwell Ring Post Office, and David Hughes of Cockermouth in Cumbria. The Post Office prosecuted 736 of its subpostmasters and subpostmistresses between 1999 and 2015, based on information from the Post Office's in-house accounting system called Horizon, which was provided by Fujitsu. These latest convictions being overturned come as the man in charge of the public inquiry into the scandal seeks information from the Post Office. Sir Wyn Williams is chairing the independent public inquiry tasked with getting to the bottom of why the Post Office brought so many of its employees to court, and why it fought against the overturning of those convictions for decades. The Post Office had big legal teams working for them throughout the process, and Sir Wyn wants to see records of conversations between the Post Office and its lawyers to find out what was going on behind the scenes.
