the Court prepared by Chalres Alastair McLachlan’ on 11" October 2010 without
contention.
We have agreed the submission of the Technical expert’s report to the Court
prepared by Charles Alastair McLachlan on 4" October 2010 and in particular
Section 4 subject to the following agreed changes:

both agreed that the revaluing of foreign currency is not an issue at West

transactions of less than £1,000 between Dec06 and Dec07 is insufficient to explain

this should be resolved by the sub postmaster when reconciling at the end of the
period.”
1.4 At Section 4.15 the sentence “My understanding is that all Horizon data...”
should read “My understanding is that all Horizon transactions...” The
sentence beginning “Certainly the information...” should now read “Certainly
all the information is collected by the Horizon system as per the specification
of Post Office Limited; however, variance checks, despite being collected, are
not passed through to the central reporting systems.”
