All
Hope everyone had good weekends.

Do you have availability for a call sometime later today or tomorrow to discuss preparations for the Case Management
Conference scheduled for 19 October? We can do any time after midday today and any time after 1pm tomorrow.

The points we'd like to pick up are:

1. Known Error Log — Freeths are pressing hard for access to the KEL and are threatening to get a Court
Order. We'd like to discuss whether, and if so how, we could give Freeths' IT expert access to the KEL.

2. Preservation of Counter Logs — Freeths are pushing for branch terminals and / or counter logs to be
preserved. We think we have a proposal that might solve this issue which would involve a hopefully small
number of Counter Logs being copied. However, we will need Fujitsu's help with this.

3. Access to documents — At the CMC there is likely to be a fierce argument about getting access to documents,
in particular documents about “Horizon's IT architecture". We understand that Fujitsu holds lots of technical
documents that describe Horizon and would like to discuss if there is a sensible way to disclose some of these
documents to Freeths.

As background information, I've set out below a rough timetable of steps between now and the CMC just so that you have
the key milestones in mind.

POL-0037961
POL00041479
POL00041479

¢ 20 September — Freeths to serve their Generic Reply to Post Office's defence (though this date may slip to 25
September).

27 September — BD to write to Freeths setting out proposals for the CMC.

9 October — Both parties to file proposals with the Court (along with a witness statement explaining those
proposals)

e 19 October - CMC
