Lawyers specialising in representing people wrongfully convicted as part of the Post Office Horizon scandal have welcomed the launch of a new scheme today under which hundreds of newly exonerated people will be able to claim compensation.
Hudgell Solicitors have been central to the fight for justice for former Post Office workers for the past five years, helping close to 100 people to clear their names in the courts and have convictions quashed, settling claims with a value well in excess of £30million to date.
Now, solicitor Neil Hudgell, whose firm has also represented former subpostmasters throughout the ongoing Public Inquiry into the scandal, says his firm is set to help former Post Office workers navigate their way through the newly created Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme (HCRS), ensuring it delivers ‘full and fair compensation as quickly as possible for all’.
