Madden & Finucane Solicitors recently represented a former sub-postmaster who received £600,000 compensation through the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme.
Following Royal Assent of the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Act on 24th May 2024, our client received a letter from the Department of Justice confirming that the wrongful conviction received in 2002 had been quashed.
Madden & Finucane assisted our client in navigating the registration and submission process for the scheme, and he has now received payment in full and final settlement.
Solicitor Lynn Day commented: "While this settlement provides some financial redress, it follows more than two decades of our client living under the shadow of a wrongful conviction for an offence he should never have been prosecuted for. The Post Office Horizon scandal caused immeasurable damage to the lives of sub-postmasters, and we are relieved to have helped our client finally clear his name and secure the compensation he was so long denied."
