The ongoing Post Office Inquiry has revealed shocking lapses in professionalism and ethics among lawyers involved in handling Horizon fraud prosecutions, drawing criticism from sub-postmasters and legal representatives alike. Sam Stein KC, representing over 200 sub-postmasters, exposed a culture of negligence and cover-up within the Post Office legal team, accusing them of ignoring evidence questioning the reliability of the Horizon system. Mandy Talbot, labeled as the “Post Office’s evil robot,” was accused of disregarding sub-postmasters’ concerns since 2001. Catriona Watt, representing the National Federation of Subpostmasters (NFSP), highlighted instances of incompetence and dishonesty among Post Office lawyers, questioning their understanding of basic legal concepts. Tim Moloney KC criticized the underqualification and lack of supervision among Post Office lawyers, accusing them of prioritizing business interests over justice. The upcoming phase of the inquiry aims to delve deeper into governance issues and the Post Office’s response to the scandal, with key figures set to testify.
