‘We’re all sorry’ over Horizon miscarriages of justice – Mulholland

They added: “The Post Office told COPFS in 2013 that its external lawyers had reviewed all potentially impacted Scottish cases and had found no issues.

“As at 2015 COPFS was not provided with further evidence which was promised by Post Office to demonstrate that Horizon was as robust as they suggested. COPFS therefore decided to no longer rely on Horizon until such time as that further evidence was provided by Post Office.”

In relation to the role of Lord Mulholland as former head of the service, the spokesperson said:

“In her statement to the Scottish Parliament in January, Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC confirmed that there is no record of Lord Mulholland taking any decisions in relation to cases that involved Horizon evidence.”

A Post Office spokesperson previously said: “We are deeply sorry for past wrongs and are doing all we can to put these right, including extensive work to support overturning wrongful convictions.

“This work includes assisting the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.”
