Subject: Khayyam Ishaq - Bradford Crown Court - 4th September 2012
Steve,

Please find below a copy of the attendance note of Sarah Porter of Counsel.

Would you be able to check please that the witnesses can attend the trial listed for hearing on 25th
Feb 2013 with a time estimate of 3 days. We have seven days to apply to the court if that date is
inconvenient.

Please could you arrange to let me have a disc containing the Horizon data for the period 14/9/10 to
9/2/11 so that I may serve this on the defence. The Court has directed that it should be served by
5/10/12.

Sarah has also asked that the call log be obtained.

Sarah took a robust stance in relation to Horizon. It will remain to be seen whether allegations of
malfunction are particularised. However she has asked that progress be checked in relation to the
compilation of the database.

I will call you later this week to discuss the specific requests in the Defence Case Statement.

Kind regards,

Martin.

NG plea
W’s as per letter encl DS - Liaquat, Smith, Bradshaw,

Def to instruct a forensic a/c and therefore need data covering the operational period of the
indictment. Court has directed that this be served by 5'" October. Def to serve expert report by
13" Nov. Prosec response and opening note/case summary by 2™ Jan 13. I/V to be summarised
by 11" Jan 13.

A trial has been fixed for 25"" Feb 13 t/e 3 days. 7 days liberty to apply to move if W’s unavail as
did not have Febs DTAs

Ihave made it clear that our stance is that Horizon works and is irrelevant in this case because
he now accepts making the reversals and we say in doing this he was acting dishonestly to cover
his tracks. Any particular problems with the system must be fully particularised before any
further disclosure made. Judge has indicated that the ball is in the defs Court.

Can we get a log of any calls def may have made to the helpline?

Re: specific requests

(i) only such material as undermines our case or assists the def in light of the DS should
be served.

(ii, (iii),(iv) (v) I understand that the Post Office are compiling some sort of database in
relation to this, can the progress of this be checked - but until DS further particularised does
not require disclosure. See HB’s advice in Wylie (case ref:21392).

(vi) as above

(vii) Bradshaw can deal with this

(viii) Not necessary to comply but could serve as matter of courtesy
