BRITAIN POST OFFICE SUB POSTMASTERS NEW LEGISLATION

House of Commons law exonerating sub postmasters to set precedent in British legal history

epa11069276 The Houses Parliament in London, Britain, 11 January 2024. The UK government?s new law that will exonerate wrongly convicted sub postmasters caught up in the Post Office scandal will set a precedent in British legal history. No other legal case in British history has seen MP?s seize power from the courts to decide a legal case. More than 700 sub-postmasters were convicted between 1999 and 2015 after Horizon, a faulty Fujitsu accounting system, made it seem as though money was missing from their businesses. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the new legislation 10 January. EPA/ANDY RAIN
