Court of Appeal - Wednesday 18th November 2020
It would seem that after all the evidence that has eventually been uncovered to support the overturning of the convictions of those prosecuted by POL, they now have to wait until next March for the full hearing by the Court of Appeal.
From what I can gather, when the Court of Appeal was in session on the 18th, it appears that most time was spent dealing with a legally sensitive document that had 'leaked' to the media. It seems the document raised the issue of the veracity of the evidence given by two Fujitsu employees in previous court hearings. It also seems these are two of the Fujitsu employees being investigated by the Metropolitan Police at the request of the DPP following matters being raised in a letter sent by the managing judge of both the Horizon and Common Issues trials (the letter forms part of the Ombudsman complaint and can be found in the accompanying documentation).
