Today, the government commits to redress for postmasters who have suffered losses as a consequence of the IT system used by Post Office prior to the Horizon system.
The independent Kroll report found that the Capture IT system also produced false shortfalls.
Michael Madden of Madden & Finucane said:
“Today’s announcement confirms that the Post Office Horizon miscarriage of justice is even wider than first thought. We represent a number of former sub-postmasters who suffered the same losses under the Capture system, as those suffered by victims of Horizon.
“We will be liaising with government officials to ensure that today’s announcement applies equally to Northern Ireland, and to ensure that redress for Capture victims is on an equal footing as Horizon victims.
“In the past week, we have secured £400,000 of redress payments for clients, and will continue to press for swift resolution to all outstanding redress claims.”
