Hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters who were wrongly convicted during the Horizon IT scandal will have their convictions automatically quashed under a new law being introduced today.
The proposed Post Office Offences Bill "marks an important step forward in finally clearing" the names of hundreds of wronged branch managers who have had their lives "callously torn apart", Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said.It means those who were convicted in England and Wales on the basis of faulty Horizon software will be exonerated after what was described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
The Government will also bring forward "enhanced" financial redress for postmasters who, while not convicted or part of legal action against the Post Office, made good the apparent losses caused by the Horizon system from their own pockets.
