Neil Hudgell welcomes MPs’ call to simplify and speed up Post Office Horizon compensation schemes

‘The overarching goal in 2025 must be full, fair and final compensation.’

It’s a year since the drama ‘Mr Bates vs The Post Office’ was on TV and yet 72% of the budget set aside for victims’ compensation settlements has still not been paid.

In a report published today MPs say the application process is ‘a second trial’ due to over-complicated processes and delays.

Solicitor Neil Hudgell, who represents hundreds of subpostmasters, welcomes recommendations to remove unnecessary obstacles to justice.

Tim Moloney KC – instructed by Hudgell Solicitors – told the Post Office Inquiry: “What happened to the sub-postmasters can never be allowed to happen to others again. It is not acceptable for decent, hard-working people of good character to be collateral damage in the pursuit of commercial imperatives.”

Response from Nottingham families and solicitor Neil Hudgell to review of homicide law and sentencing

The families of the victims of the 2024 Nottingham attacks have welcomed a move to review homicide law and the sentencing framework – including how ‘diminished responsibility’ is classified. They have also repeated their call, along with solicitor Neil Hudgell, for a judge-led statutory inquiry.

Mr Hudgell said: “There are so many failings in this case, that to properly piece it all together and ensure accountability and change only a properly formulated Public Inquiry will do.”

Full statement from the families of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.

I recently had a personal injury at work, having never needing to use a solicitor for a personal injury claim I was nervous of how the process worked and what it would cost etc. I’d heard of Hudgell Solicitors and decided to contact them I was quickly reassured with the straightforward guides and simple processes to start my claim. My case was handled by Susan Richardson who was professional and kept me up to date with regular communication of how my case was progressing through the different stages to completion. Having now concluded my claim against my employer I can say that Hudgell solicitors offer expert advice and support with easy to use transparent processes that I can’t recommend highly enough thank you Susan for all your help and support.
