Please see attached FYI.
Fujitsu is very keen to try and help POL with this matter and provide
information to respond to the Defence request. Please let me know if I
can
help in any way.
Guy is the Commercial person responsible for the contractual aspects of
providing this work to POL under our contract and Penny is pulling
together

the inputs on our service and the applications.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can assist in any way.

I have now looked at this - both at the background and the specific
information requested by the Defence Expert.
It is for POL to decide what they want us to do to support the
prosecution
as although there is no "property" in a witness we are engaged to
support
POL contractually and will need them to cover the work involved. We
should
ask POL (and via them their counsel) to confirm that they want us to do
the
work requested and whether they want us to provide -
1. Access to the appropriate person with whom I can discuss how to
access an unencrypted version of the transaction files held on the
sub-post office terminals related to the Hosi case.
2. Access to the appropriate person with whom I can discuss the
structure of the transaction files, the mechanisms by which they
are
synchronized with the central system and the records held
centrally.
3. An unencrypted copy of full transaction log of the sub-post office
terminals related to the Hosi case.
4. An unencrypted copy of the corresponding records held by the
central
system
We need to explain what can be done and the time scales and costs
involved
and then Guy can put in place an ATP to cover the work involved. If this
work cannot be done in the timescales ordered by the court then we need
to
tell POL and its counsel so that they can apply to court for more time.
We
FUJ00152922
FUJ00152922
need an ATP and or specific authority not just to cover our costs
involved
but to ensure that any disclosure and work have POL's approval.
POL and its counsel must also agree how we provide any access to our
people
for the Defence expert and who is also present and how the exchanges are
recorded and minuted.
Any access must be subject to confidentiality agreement or a release
FOL - our standard NDA will need amending if we are going down this
Ail access should be joint with a suitable POL person in attendance so
totes that arise from their requirements can be dealt with by POL and
us
If necessary please feel free to forward this note to POL.
Best wishes

returned to Post Office Ltd - WS West Byfleet 126023
Also looming is the Post Office Ltd prosecution relating to the outlet

Porters Avenue. The attached collection of notes - Porters Avenue
Issues -
are also relevant.
As explained in my previous note the urgency here is that during the
pre-court hearing for West Byfleet on Monday 1 February the judge
ordered
that all the defence requests for further information be answered by 4pm
on
Monday 8 February.
Kind regards

I have just spoken to the solicitor dealing with this case. The
question
raised by our barrister in his advice states with regards the Eleanor
Nixon
statement is as follows,
" The witness statement does not reveal a problem with Horizon's
reliability but rather a mistake that can easily be made with the layout
of
the screen. It may be that the alleged layout problem is something
which
Fujitsu are aware of and has been rectified. A copy of Mrs Nixon's
statement should be forwarded to Fujitsu for their comments. It should
also be straightforward to ascertain whether or not Mrs Misra was
falling
into the trap identified by Mrs Nixon. . The error described would
presumably create a cash shortage matched by an equal surplus
elsewhere".
A response to this question by Fujitsu would be appreciated, however
brief.
