TRIAL - 15TH MARCH 2010
Jarnail
I am very happy for you to correspond direct with Penny and Gareth on
what you need in terms of information etc. There is no requirement for
me to be the conduit so long as I am aware of what is going on or need
to resolve issues of "principle".
Best wishes

Subject: REGINA v SEEMA MISRA GUILDFORD CROWN COURT TRIAL - 15TH MARCH
2010
URGENT
David,
Thank you. I would be grateful if Mr Jenkins is asked the following:-
1 In relation to the Eleanor Nixon statement, the information we
received that although Maureen Lyme states she cannot remember specific
Offices she has stated that pre August 2005 Offices were using a
separate
system for debit / credit card transactions called Streamline. Offices
would put debit / credit cards through this system and produce a
receipt,
which could be keyed into the Horizon terminals.
Some Postmaster / Clerks would key in the information into Horizon as
cash,
instead of debit / credit cards resulting in a shortage in Offices. If
Post Offices contacted Chesterfield at the time any Branch discrepancies
were dealt with, and sorted out with the individual Post Offices.
Therefore the problems were results of incorrect account produce and not
a
problem with the Horizon system. No information is available for any
Correction Notices pre August 2005. So the Nixon statement is unlikely
to
have any relevance for our present case of Misra.
2 The areas where Mr Jenkins says for POL to respond should be
POL00054061
POL00054061
POL00054061
POL00054061
deleted
from his statement.
Mr Jenkins needs to comment on the third interim report received from
the
Defence Expert.
The quality of training of SPMs is obviously outside Mr Jenkins
expertise.
However I wonder if he might be prepared to comment on how it might be
possible to examine the Horizon data to investigate mistakes.
We are keen that the Defence are given suggestions as to how they can
efficiently test their theories against the Horizon data. we do’noc
want
them to say that they will not have time before the Trial. we
anticipate
that it would not be very difficult to test their theories against a
short
but represented span of data example from the months when Mrs Misra has
admitted to false accounting. (15th November 2006 to 14th December
2006,
36th May 2007 to 16th June 2007, 14th November 2007 to 15th December
2007
and 9th January 2008. Tt would be helpful if Mr Jenkins could consider
practical and efficient ways in which the Defence might be able to test
their theories.
I also refer you to my E-Mail to you of Friday sth February 2010 at
15.39
Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4.
Thank you in anticipation of your help.
Kind regards.
