Richard Whittam KC stated, "In general, Fujitsu routinely and continually shared information concerning the existence of the impact of Beds with Post Office. [It] therefore follows the contemporary, contemporaneous knowledge of [Beds] within Post Office went well beyond acknowledgement of the mere theoretical possibility of [Beds]." Whittam emphasized that the Post Office had awareness for at least 25 years regarding the issues within the Horizon system.
Whittam detailed how between 1999 and 2015, approximately 736 sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses were wrongfully convicted of fraud due to Horizon errors. It wreaked havoc on lives, with some victims facing bankruptcy and severe emotional distress, including suicides.
