Mr Bates vs The Post Office drives mass public recognition of Horizon miscarriages

The ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' drives mass public recognition of the Post Office Horizon IT scandal. A statutory exoneration process follows later in 2024, exonerating hundreds of wrongly-convicted sub-postmasters. The Horizon case is the closest UK template for how a mass miscarriage of justice eventually gets corrected — and its timeline (convictions from 1999 onwards; first Court of Appeal quashings 2021; statutory exoneration 2024) is instructive for what a Letby review timescale might look like.
