  • The Post Office has spent over £250 million on legal fees related to the Horizon IT scandal, nearly matching the compensation paid to victims.
    Freedom of Information Act data shows the company paid £256.9 million to law firms and barristers over the past decade. Meanwhile, £261 million in compensation had been paid to victims by July.
    The legal costs include defending a High Court case brought by 555 subpostmasters, led by Sir Alan Bates.
    Alex Phillips speaks with former subpostmaster, Tim Bretnall.

    My friend was a sub postmistress, she was completely traumatised by what happened to her, and is suffering all over again because of the way she's being dealt with. It's disgusting.

    Paula Vennells needs to be sent to jail. She has been a vital part of the cover up resulting in many innocent people going to prison

    It shouldn’t stop with compensation. It stops when the likes of Paula Vennells, David Courtley, Angela van den Bogard et al are behind bars. Anything short of a lengthy custodial sentence for these perjuring con artists will be a disgrace.

    When they said 'you're the only one' - that was a lie. When that was reported in the legal process and in court that was perjury, and that is a jailable offence in law.

    Alex - it was covered up by: (i) Fujitsu (iI) Post Office and their staff. They took the easy path to steam roller the weaker party, the Sub postmasters. A few good men, saved the Sub post masters by working hard on their behalf. They were met with lies from all ranks in the POst Office. Deceitful people working for themselves. They were also incompetant. No skills to do the job.
