Suffered and Prosecuted by Post Office?
Under the terms of the December 2019 Settlement Agreement the JFSA and Freeths are legally restrained from organising and taking a further Group Action and legal claims against Post Office Limited. However that restraint does not extend to assisting those who were criminally prosecuted by Post Office, in particular helping them to determine whether their convictions might be overturned. To that end, and with the assistance of Freeths, the JFSA is supporting these cases being taken forward by Hudgells solicitors, the firm that the MP Karl Turner has discussed a number of these cases with.
There are a number of ways that these criminal appeal cases may be funded and further details can be found on the Hudgells FAQs sheet. As well as legal aid/public funds in certain cases, another option may be for legal crowdfunding. This would never have achieved anywhere near what was required for the civil Group Action in the High Court and would not have enabled that action to commence, but may potentially assist with these criminal cases. So go and have a look at the Hudgells website and see if it is able to offer you any assistance.
