The Post Office Scandal

On this week's episode of Law & Disorder, Nicholas Mostyn, Helena Kennedy and Charlie Falconer are discussing a topic that has been, unexpectedly, at the centre of British political debate over the past months: the scandalous treatment of the Post Office's sub-postmasters following faults with the Horizon computer system. After ITV's Mr Bates vs the Post Office brought the saga to a mainstream audience, it's time to ask important questions of a legal establishment that facilitated this miscarriage of justice. How was it allowed to happen? Who was responsible? And will anyone – from the Post Office to Fujitsu to government – be held accountable?
