In response to today’s announcement by the UK government of the new Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Bill to overturn Post Office Horizon convictions, our Michael Madden sent the attached correspondence to the Stormont Justice Minister, Naomi Long.
Michael Madden said:
“In light of today’s announcement by the UK government that the proposed Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Bill will extend to England and Wales only, I have written to Stormont Justice Minister, Naomi Long, to seek clarification regarding the position in Northern Ireland.
“My clients are afraid of getting left behind England and Wales, and unfortunately face a longer road to getting their convictions overturned.
“I hope that the political impetus shown by both UK government and Stormont ministers to overturn convictions will get beyond any legislative hurdles and result in speedy exoneration for all Post Office convictions.”
