Horizon IT scandal: BBC challenges former Post Office lawyer

Born in Australia, Jane MacLeod returned to live there in 2020.

Last month Sir Wyn Williams, chair of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, revealed that while Ms McLeod had submitted a witness statement, she had decided not to give oral evidence, despite being asked to do so.

The inquiry heard that the reason, offered by Ms McLeod’s lawyers, was that given the passage of time, she considered her written statement was the best evidence she could offer.

Since then, Ms MacLeod has not responded to BBC requests for comment.

Sir Wyn said that even before seeing her written evidence, he’d decided that Ms MacLeod was “an important witness” from whom he wished to hear in person.

He added that despite the offer to have her travel and accommodation expenses covered, Ms McLeod “has made it clear that she will not co-operate with the inquiry by providing oral evidence”, either in person or via video-link.
