    I am amazed any of these PO employees were able to find their way home their memory is so bad.

      I'm also amazed that they received so many emails in error. Nobody seemed to know who was responsible for what. I wonder if they got the right pay packets?

    How much was Harry Bowyer charged out at oer hour. He says he did not read a number of email attachments, that Mr Sungh was unclear ( yet never asked for clarification) and did not understand the disclosure rules on litigation. Lazy, incompetent or a crook?

    He has a great memory for some things (non damaging) but a memory loss when it might be damaging to him! Have all these people been on a course to learn how to dodge questions!

      Yes, it's called law school. They skipped the ethics modules, though.

    Just listened again, he can accurately remember Justice Frasers findings, but cannot remember his own actions or inaction. Damning evidence of selective recall.

      I suggest that if selective recall 'prospers' whoever engages in that conduct, it doesn't say much about the legal system which entertains it.

    It seems to me that these lawyers are accepting of the complaint raised by their clients - much like all lawyers. They have a vested interest in having the claims being upheld in court, but seemingly have little or no interest in questioning the evidence put forward by their clients. In the present light of day when we now know that the client had an agenda which was to conceal the truth about the real issue, and were quite successful in doing that with a legal team who didn't ask more. But proceded with a campaign of prosecuting innocent people because it would make everyone happy - Very happy in the case of the lawyers who raked in millions for their services to wittingly or unwittingly conceal the truth of which may be charitibly called corporate mismanagement, and secured the convictioms of innocent people to that end. Everyone concerned in this travesty should face their day in court and pay for their actions.

    4:23:50. Outrageous for CK or POL to complain about last minute disclosure of the DCS, when they didn’t disclose anything themselves.

    4:46:07 saying the data has integrity, is quite different to the system doesn’t create accounting errors.

    I'd hate to be a client of Bowyer's, because if I'm paying by the hour he'll cost me thousands extra.

    The only evidence was a faulty system which they victims pointed out. They were convicted in spite this, with nobody taking a deeper look into it. It beggars belief that independant experts weren't brought in to check out the large numbers of people pointing to the system.

      they were brought in , several times, and wrote to POL , but POL continued to deny there was a problem

      Throwing every one else under the bus once they are in an interview at the SFO more of these minions will spill the beans on those who made the decisions.
      More paper work being ever so slowly released by POL will show many have committed perjury.
