Post Office Inquiry - Paula Vennels, former CEO, will start giving evidence tomorrow.
Paula Vennells, former Post Office CEO, faced controversy after a cover-up of issues with the Horizon system and mistreatment of subpostmasters during her tenure.
Despite the organisation losing a legal battle and wasting public funds, she received a CBE in 2019. A colleague's testimony revealed her disbelief in miscarriages of justice against subpostmasters prosecuted based on faulty software.
Over 100 wrongful convictions have been overturned, leading to unprecedented legislation to quash convictions en masse.
Solicitor Neil Hudgell emphasized the significance of Vennells' appearance at the public inquiry, as victims seek accountability and genuine remorse.
Vennells' name evokes anger among subpostmasters, making her testimony a highly anticipated event.
She is expected to give evidence for three days starting tomorrow, May 22nd.
Somebody who has refused to give evidence to the Inquiry is Former Post Office General Counsel, Jane Macleod, her refusal to attend the Inquiry (whether remotely or in person) has the effect of obstructing justice - not a good look for a senior lawyer.
