Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry
Legal Services
Independent Inquiry examining failings surrounding the Post Office's Horizon IT system and impacts on those affected.
About us
The Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry is an independent statutory inquiry examining failings surrounding Post Office Limited’s Horizon IT system which led to the suspension and termination of contracts, and the wrongful prosecution and conviction of subpostmasters and subpostmistresses. The Inquiry is led by retired high court judge Sir Wyn Williams who has over 28 years’ judicial experience. Sir Wyn is tasked with ensuring there is a public summary of the failings which occurred with the Horizon IT system and will look to establish a clear account of the implementation and failings of the system over its lifetime (a period of over 20 years). The Inquiry is gathering relevant evidence from affected persons, previous and current subpostmasters and subpostmistresses, Post Office Ltd, UK Government Investment, Fujitsu, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, amongst others. It will also consider whether Post Office Limited has learned the lessons and embedded the cultural change necessary from the findings in Mr Justice Fraser’s judgments and the impact on affected postmasters.
