Post Office newest: Inquiry listening to from former Horizon director David Miller | EUROtoday

After a brief break, we have began off by wanting on the case of Lee Andrews, a sub-postmaster in Ramsgate who challenged accounting shortfalls within the Horizon software program in 2004.

There was a scarcity in his account of £76,916 in June 2003. Andrews refused to simply accept duty of this loss and wished to show the Horizon system was at fault – however says he was not given the possibility.

Documentation exhibits that David Miller – giving proof in the present day – reviewed the paperwork regarding the case, and responded: “I can find no evidence to support your allegations of unfairness”.

Miller says he has “read and reread” the case and can’t recollect it, so questioning turns to hypotheticals of kinds.

He is requested to suppose again to the time, and, imagining the case was put in entrance of him, whether or not he would have had the identical issues then that he has now (once more, with the advantage of hindsight).

He says no and that points with Horizon have been “bubbling up” throughout the Post Office enterprise, however the extent to which these have been being correctly surfaced was “really quite small”.
