Some people

need to be charged

1. withholding evidence.

2. failure to disclose evidence.

If there was written proof of the failure of horizons on someones desk , and they knew about the court cases and did not inform the defence counsel, then they are guilty of the above offenses, regardless of whether the accused was actually guilty of theft.

If the prosecution QC knew about the horizons failures and did not mention it, then that will be a reason to throw him/her out of a job as a QC.

The inquiry should have the following terms.

Who knew about the failure of horizons?

Did they disclose that the failure could and did materially affect the course of several court cases?

What did they do about the said failures?

And finally , the most important thing

Will the inquiry be able to recommend that criminal charges of perjury, withholding evidence, failure to disclose evidence, and misleading the court be applied to those responsible within the post office and fujitsu organisations?
