Post Office Capture appeal objections not right, just or fair | Computer Weekly

▤ Summary

The Post Office’s objections to appeals in Capture-related criminal conviction cases face renewed criticism from the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board. The board says the Post Office’s latest legal reasoning is neither balanced nor persuasive and creates a clear conflict of interest. The dispute centers on whether convictions linked to the older Capture accounting software should be challenged or conceded at the Court of Appeal. The article also notes that the Criminal Cases Review Commission has already referred multiple pre-Horizon cases and is reviewing more. This remains part of the wider software accountability scandal that has affected subpostmasters for years.
