Have they now started the process. I find the email chain unclear on this - Can I understand what is needed for the
financial clearance. They need to start doing it today and deliver it over the weekend or we really need to escalate this.

Please see below — eta on the KELs is 1 day from when FJ get financial clearance.

I also spoke to David Barker — he has not been contacted by FJ about this issue which makes me think that FJ have not
yet realised their responsibility for the situation.

Kind regards

Apologies for the TLA, yes, 1 MD = one man day. Given clearance now, we’d have the information to you tomorrow

Thanks. To be clear - does 1 MD mean one man day? If so, if you got financial clearance today, when would the
documents be passed to us?

Apologies, I didn’t realise that Matthew was on leave today.
While I still don’t have the internal confirmation of funding to do this activity I can say that the elapsed time to produce
the data for you would be 1 MD. Is that enough information for now?

Please can you confirm as a matter of urgency (this moming) how long you believe it will take to extract the KELs? We
are expecting questions from the Claimants / the Court about this and need to be prepared to answer them immediately.

Thank you

Further to the below and our discussion yesterday, I understand that to extract the previous versions of the current or
deprecated KELS as HTML files it would be necessary to produce a new script. Please could Fujitsu proceed with
producing this script, but not run the script until we provide further confirmation to do so?

if you could let me know and ETA for this script being ready it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Amy

Subje E: KELs - query [WBDUK-AC.FID27032497]

Lucy,

This part: “[t]he KEL only contains the current database entries” — I’m not completely clear what that is intended to
mean, but it may be clarified by the following:

This is correct: “is constantly updated and so the current version will not necessarily reflect the version that was in place
at the relevant time”

POL-0039510
POL00043028
POL00043028

The second sentence is not correct: “The previous entries / versions of the current entries are no longer availabie".

You may recall that there are three status categories of KEL: current, deprecated and deleted. For those that are current
or deprecated, they have been updated in such a way that previous content is not permanently overwritten, but instead
a new version is created, with the previous versions being retained and accessible. For those that have been deleted,
only the last version at the point of deletion has been retained.

Subject: KELs - query [WBDUK-AC.FID27032497]

Matthew,

Post Office is seeking to quote from its Electronic Documents Questionnaire submitted back in 2017. It is seeking to rely
on the following quote in relation to KELs:

"[t]he KEL only contains the current database entries and is constantly updated and so the current version will not
necessarily reflect the version that was in place at the relevant time. The previous entries / versions of the current entries
are no longer available".

Can you confirm that this is definitely the correct position (i.e. that previous entries are no longer available)? We need to
respond to Freeths by 10am tomorrow, so confirmation ASAP would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Lucy
