Wendy,
Jason Coyne’s the IT expert for the claimant has produced a new report (received by WBD close of business 1*
February) in response to the witness statements from Post Office’s IT Expert and Fujitsu’s nominated witnesses. Post
Office needs to decide how to respond to the claims in this report that the losses were cause by a mixture of Post
Office Processes, bugs in Horizon or the support processes around Horizon (both in Post Office and Fujitsu) did not
adequately find all the issues and then identify all branches involved in a systematic way.
The report has 2 sections that WBD have asked for support from Fujitsu as they relate to its involvement in Horizon.
There may be other support they need in relation to other sections but so far we have not been asked to assist. Post
Office and WBD need to decide before the next pre-trail meeting Thursday 14" February how they wish to respond to
this report i.e. do they need to submit a new report, more witness statements or wait until they have the opportunity
to cross examine.
In order to support the process Fujitsu have been given the following tasks:
1. Workshop to update Barristers and WBD lead lawyer on support process, KELs and Peak systems Completed
4'" February
2. In section 3 of the report (received 5‘ February by Fujitsu) Coyne identifies 22 issues from a mixture of the
Fujitsu statements and the disclosed documents (all KELs, Peaks and design documentation). Fujitsu have been
asked to produce a story board for each issue giving the background and response (e.g. rote cause, branches
affected etc.). Deadline for completion 8" Feb. Progress: 19 of these are complete, final 3 to be submitted
Friday 8" Feb.
3. WBD to convert Fujitsu documents into a form to be used by the Barristers and return to Fujitsu for an
accuracy check plus any questions or extra evidence required. WBD to start supplying Friday 8" Feb, a
significant number to be reviewed before Wednesday 13°" Feb to inform WBD’s trail strategy
4. Fujitsu to comment on Coyne’s comments on Witness Statements of Torstein Godeseth and Steve Parker.
Review underway due to be completed by Monday 11" Feb for Steve and Wednesday 13" for Torstein.
5. Supplemental issue on Transaction Injection. Fujitsu response to WDB disclosure document before
Wednesday 13° Feb.
After the initial shock of receiving such a large response with the change in tack to the criticise support process rather
than the system itself after the workshop on Monday and the subsequent Fujitsu response WBD appear to be more
comfortable with the report from a Fujitsu perspective. I cannot comment on the rest of the report as that is in wither
the domain of the Post office IT expert or for Post office response. We have also briefed Pinsent Masons lawyer David
Barker on proceedings who seems comfortable with our approach and offering advice on our strategy.
I will give a further update on progress on Monday and then daily next week.
