Dear Mrs Hamilton
Post Office Complaint Review and Mediation Scheme - Document Request
I refer to your emails with my colleague Georgia Barker dated 6, 7 and 8 May 2015,

I note that you have requested the document referred to In paragraph 4.10 of your
final CRR. The document referred to as “a Post Office Investigator's Report, dated 17
May 2006” is legally privileged and Second Sight have released parts of its contents in
error. It did not form part of the pack of documents appended to the final Post Office
Investigation Report because of its privileged status, Post Office cantinues to assert
privilege over the document,

We are unclear why Second Sight chose to reference parts of a legally privileged
document and to do so solely in their final CRR, rather than in earlier drafts, which
would have allowed Post Office to comment on its inclusion.

That said, we note that you have applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission
("CCRC") to review the criminal prosecution brought against you. I can confirm that
the document you have requested will form part of the file which is provided by Post
Office to the CCRC as part of the investigation into your case. Please note however
that Post Office will continue to assert privilege over the document, and all legally
privileged documents provided to the CCRC,

T trust that this clarifies the position.

Yours sincerely

GRO
