Described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history, the Post Office scandal is likely to already be on the radar of anyone reading this law themed blog.
I won’t attempt to write an introduction save to point interested readers to the website of the man who literally wrote the book on it – https://www.postofficescandal.uk/
On 2nd February 2022 the Solicitors Regulation Authority filed a so-called part 8 claim against the Post Office for disclosure of case files relating to the 39 appellants whose convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal in 2021.
The application was granted by Deputy Master Linwood in February 2022.
We are publishing the claim form and resulting order below:
