Dear Mr Jones
Your 'e-mail in respect of Jerry Hosi -Porters Avenue has been forwarded to me.
Please note that I am the Solicitor dealing with the case of Hosi which is being dealt with separately.
As such information regarding the case of Hosi should not be supplied to Mr Misra's (West Byfleet)
Expert. Indeed Hosi's case should not be discussed with Misra's Expert in any way without reference -
to me.
The proper course is for Misra’s Solicitors to make representations to the relevant Solicitor at Legal
Services who will consider any request.
I reiterate that information supplied to the Defence experts should be specific to the case referred.
Yours sincerely

Dear David and Penny,
On first glance points 2 - 4 have not been answered which I reproduce below.
2) My barrister telephoned me yesterday evening and requested that I find out any information that
Fujitsu may hold in relation to an office called Callender Square in Falkirk. Apparently, Anne
Chambers a Systems Specialist employed by Fujitsu was cross examined and it is said that she had
full knowledge of an error in the Horizon system at this Post Office. Our barrister would like Gareth to
deal with this matter and expand upon whatever issue Anne Chambers raised at court within his
witness statement. .
3) When Gareth completes his statement could he also mention whether there are any known
problems with the Horizon system that Fujitsu are aware of. If none could this be clarified in the
statement.
4) Could Gareth read the statement from Eleanor Nixon attached below and respond in his statement
to the points raised by Eleanor Nixon about Horizon.
Eleanor Nixon Statement.rtf
Could you please give this matter your urgent attention and look forward to hearing from you.

Jarnail,
Thank you for your attached email - which I have now received!
I met this morning with Gareth Jenkins 2 office briefly to meet with me. Gareth will
help with this matter. Although Gareth i i should be back to normal working next
week. His input will be coordinated by Penny who is responsible for delivery to POL of support in this
Security area.
Attached‘is a first draft of a statement from Gareth. I would like you to review it and indicate if it
answers the questions in the detail you require.
You will see that there are some areas where Fujitsu cannot deal with the Defendant's expert's
criticisms as they are about POL procedures or requirements and it seems evident that there will need
to be a POL internal “expert” who can work with Gareth to deal with these areas.
One concern is that POL have not apparently requested transaction data for West Byfleet for the
period and transactions in question. This would normally be provided in previous cases and would
include Fujitsu extracting log files from the system to enable us to provide details of transactions.
Surprisingly this has not been requested I this case. Perhaps you would consider the need for this.
Pléase copy me for information on key developments on this case.
Best wishes
David

CROWN COURT MENTION - 1ST FEBRUARY 2010
03/02/2010 23:41
Dear Sirs,
R V Misra
We refer to HHJ Critchlow's order on 01/02/10 to serve a further disclosure
request by 4pm today.
Due to an office system failure causing our email and case management to go
down, we contacted the court who, effectively, gave us an extension of time
until midnight tonight. This extension was communicated by defence counsel
to prosecution counsel earlier this evening.
We now enclose our thixd request for disclosure together with our expert's
third interim report,
We note that your response of 27/01/10 makes suggestion that our Expert
meets with your investigating officer and representatives of Fujitsu. Can
we endorse that and emphasise that,we have, since July last year, been
requesting that our expert has access to data records, a request that has
been repeatedly rebuffed on grounds of cost and work involved.
You have indicated that you’ do not propose to rely on an expert but on the
employees of Fujitsu. For the first time, at the hearing on 01/02/10, you
identified that witness as an employee named Jenkins. However, not only
have you not served his evidence prior to suggesting a meeting, you accept
that you haven't even yet taken a statement.
We very much doubt that our expert will now be able to carry out the
testing required and then report in time for the trial. However this is
dependant on further disclosure and possible discussions between experts.
If we cannot prepare the report we will, in these circumstances, as already
notified to the court on 01/02/10, seek to make application for the
indictment/count to be stayed for abuse of process.
Even if we our ready for trial, we would point out that our expert has now
provided three interim reports which would have been avoided had you
provided us with access to the data records as first raised in July last
year. In addition we have also had an aborted s8 hearing on 20/11/09/ a
mention hearing on 01/02/10 through lack of disclosure and the production
of a third request of disclosure tonight, much of which is requesting that
you comply with the requests raised in our. document of 30/11/09.
We put you on notice that we will, in any event, be applying for wasted
costs against the Post Office for the work involved by Counsel, Expert and
ourselves in the above hearings, reports and requests.
As you can see, we have copied this message to both Prosecution and Defence
Counsel and have faxed this message together with enclosures to the Court.
Yours faithfully
