Penny / Tom,

I've finally managed to go through the Witness statement that you kindly put together for me. I've
tidied it up a bit using "Revisions" (attached). Should all the bits "POL to Comment" just be removed
from the Witness statement?

I don't know anything at present about Falkirk

I'm not aware of issues in Horizon other than the event timeouts. Not sure how to cover that in the
witness statement.

I've read Eleanor Nixon's statement. I'm not clear what response I need to give.

I'm OK in principle talking to the POL Solicitor / Barrister. However, this is a very busy time with
HNG-X (though I suspect this may be considered an even higher priority). I'l] come and talk at 2pm.

Regards

Gareth

Penny
At a pre court hearing today the judge has ordered that all the defence
requests for further information be answered by 4pm on Monday 8th February.

Our solicitor in the case has asked that Gareth's statement is completed by
Wednesday of this week so that he and our barrister can examine the
statement.

Gareth's statement needs to cover the following four points.

1. Our defence barrister has asked for all of Gareth's replies in
relation to the Defences 2nd Interim Report (see attachment below) to be
produced as a witness statement. I would suggest that the question from
the defence is reproduced and then Gareth's replies are recorded
immediately after for clarity purposes.

(See attached file: 9c15.misra - 2nd interim technical expert's report
19.11.09.doc)

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.

(See attached file: Eleanor Nixon Statement.rtf)

In addition our barrister would like to speak to Gareth directly and would
be grateful if in the first instance whether Gareth could either send him
his contact details or give him a call on his mobil bi

called warwick Tatford. and bis =wail address is

and mobile number ist i ‘
