The Post Office’s leadership has been accused of showing contempt for victims after its lawyers informed the inquiry into one of the country’s worst scandals that it was not reasonable to expect them to “leave no stone unturned” in getting to the truth.
The inquiry into the false convictions of 900 post office operators was further told it was unrealistic for the organisation’s lawyers responsible for handing over internal documents to “continue to work during the evenings and over weekends”.
