Nearly 3 years into the UK Post Office inquiry

And today sees the senior management and boardroom start to be re-questioned under oath.

One wonders just what they could say to redeem themselves especially now the inquiry has seen evidence previously deliberately withheld, proving meetings took place that show they were made aware not only of problems with the Horizon I.T system, but also how unsafe the Postmasters convictions were.

The scandal doesn't just expose wrong doing by the post office. In my opinion it also reveals a long standing and serious deficiency in the court system. There were so many cases of a similar nature going through the courts that someone should have asked questions about whether it was plausible that so many people were all defrauding the same institution in the same way.

That is, courts should be subject to both quality assurance and quality control.

@ninalanyon Certainly brings into question the degree of evidence required before bringing their cases to court and why the senior judiciary didn't question the sudden influx of cases.
