Interim payment incoming

Hello everyone – very welcome and overdue news that the Subpostmasters who have had their convictions quashed can apply for up to £100,000 each as an interim payment ahead of any final settlement.

Many Subpostmasters and their representatives are rightly suspicious, but the government has insisted that any interim payment has no bearing on the rights of Subpostmasters to sue the Post Office for malicious prosecution, or to go down the Post Office’s preferred route of Alternative Dispute Resolution.

I’ve put the story up here. I know all this raises some questions, and I hope to address them soon, but I thought you’d appreciate knowing the latest on the day it dropped out of the blue…

Best

Nick
