Post Office scandal ruined lives, inquiry hears
The Post Office scandal which saw sub-postmasters wrongly convicted for fraud ruined lives, a top lawyer has said. Barrister Jason Beer QC said former sub-postmasters and mistresses' stories should be at the heart of an inquiry. The inquiry will also examine whether staff at software firm Fujitsu, which developed the Horizon software to complete tasks such as transactions, accounting and stocktaking, knew the system had flaws while data from it was used in court to convict sub-postmasters. Mr Beer pointed out that some former sub-postmasters had passed away before the inquiry started. The inquiry will also hear evidence from witnesses in Leeds and Cardiff.
