A total of 39 subpostmasters – 29 represented by Hudgell Solicitors, today had longs-standing convictions against them quashed at the Court of Appeal.
It was the biggest group referral of potential miscarriages of justice by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) in English legal history.
The Court ruled that the Post Office’s actions in prosecuting them had amounted to ‘an affront to conscience of the court’, having heard how vital evidence was withheld from subpostmasters when they were being prosecuted.
Neil Hudgell, of Hudgell Solicitors, has now helped 32 former subpostmasters to clear their names and is also currently supporting a further 55 to take their cases to the Court of Appeal.
