LTB 173/21 – Post Office: Postmasters: Horizon Inquiry – Court of Appeal – 39 Convictions Quashed
No. 173/2021

27th April 2021



Dear Colleagues

POST OFFICE: POSTMASTERS: HORIZON INQUIRY – COURT OF APPEAL – 39 CONVICTIONS QUASHED

Further to LTB 116/21 dated 23rd March.

The Court of Appeal announced its decision last Friday in relation to the main group of appellants (former Postmasters and victims of the Horizon scandal) asking for their convictions to be overturned. 39 had their convictions quashed and when added to the 6 former Postmasters who had their convictions overturned at Southwark Crown Court last year, this makes 45 people who were wrongfully prosecuted and whose lives were ruined by the Post Office through this horrific scandal.
