Today, an interim payment of £200,000 was paid to our client who had their Post Office conviction from 2003 quashed by the Post Office (Horizon Systems) Act 2024 when it was passed on 24 May.
Our client was informed of the overturned conviction in a letter from the DOJ on 19th September 2024. Our client is due to receive a further £400,000 under the Overturned Convictions redress scheme.
Michael Madden of Madden & Finucane said:
“Our client had her reputation stolen from her by Post Office for over twenty years. Her reputation was restored when she received a letter from Department of Justice informing her that her conviction was quashed.
“The £600,000 compensation will go some way to redress her loss, however, the lost years can never be returned. Unfortunately, the trauma of the false conviction suffered by our client had a devastating impact on every aspect of her life.
“We expect further interim payments to be made in the coming days to other clients and we will be pressing Post Office to deliver the remainder of the claims without delay.”
