Common Issues box set: Deluxe edition

Remember the Common Issues trial?

Happened a while back. The judgment was just over a month ago. It turned everything in this story on its head.

For years it had been the word of the Subpostmasters against the Post Office. And despite a select committee inquiry, several parliamentary debates and a number of pieces of investigative journalism, the Subpostmasters had nothing to show for it.

Judgment No 3 of this litigation changed everything.

After a long trial, a very thorough set of findings was produced, concluding, as a matter of fact, that the way the Post Office has been behaving over a period of years was and is unreasonable and unlawful.

I don’t need to go on, but events since then have rather occluded how momentous a judgment that was. And remains.

Until it reaches the Court of Appeal…

But even as we anticipate that moment, please feel free to savour a completed Common Issues Trial Menu.

Fully updated to include the judgment, a bluffer’s guide to the judgment, various commentaries on the judgment, plus a chronological schlep through all the transcripts, documents, articles and commentaries produced during the trial itself.

Dive in. And forward the link to a journalist or anyone you know with a smidgin of clout or responsibility in public office.

It’s all on the record now, and hopefully engaging enough for the most casual of readers.

Next on the list is an updating of the Horizon trial menu, which is waaay behind recent events.

Until then, have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Best regards

Nick
