Edward Fail Bradshaw & Waterson solicitors acting for Jacqueline Falcon are pleased to confirm her conviction on 30 July 2015 for fraud by abuse of position was quashed today at the Court of Appeal.
This conviction was based on Horizon computer evidence and followed an investigation by the Post Office and prosecution by Crown Prosecution Service. This was the first CPS prosecution based on Horizon evidence where an appeal has been allowed.
The Crown agreed not to contest the appeal on 22nd January 2024 and the appeal was listed today just a few weeks later
Paul Harris senior partner said "this has been a horrific ordeal for Jacqueline and her family which has lasted for years. She was a hardworking honest person whose good name was destroyed by the Post Office deliberately concealing the bugs in the Horizon system. There remain many who still await justice".
