Post Office 'misled and deceived me' says key lawyer
The senior engineer from Fujitsu was a key architect of the flawed IT system which ran in every Post Office across the UK, and he appeared in numerous court cases testifying that the system was robust. A few weeks later Mr Clarke wrote formal legal advice to the Post Office which warned that Mr Jenkins had failed to disclose information "In plain breach of his duty as an expert witness", and this put the Post Office "In breach of its duty as a prosecutor". Despite raising these doubts over Mr Jenkins' testimony, Mr Clarke advised the Post Office that the information did not have to be disclosed to lawyers representing Mrs Misra. When he joined the Post Office in 2013, Mr Clarke said he asked for a copy of the Post Office's prosecution policy - the rules they used to decide whether to proceed with prosecutions against sub-postmasters. Later in 2013 Mr Clarke wrote another memo warning that the Post Office was destroying evidence of Horizon bugs raised in regular "Hub" meetings, convened to pool knowledge of problems with the system.
