Ged,
following our discussion thanks for this.
Andrew/Robert,
given that we will now be seeking recovery via the spmr can you ensure you liaise with the Contracts team as
there may be obvious impact/ repercussions.
Cheers,

I have reviewed this case and find that we have dropped the theft charge and successfully prosecuted the 3
counts of false accounting. As this defendant is a sub-postmasters assistant (office manager) and his contract is
with the sub-postmaster and not us I find it difficult to quantify the benefit figure in this case. I believe that we
should withdraw from the confiscation process and that recovery for POLTD should be through the sub-
postmasters contract and for the sub-postmaster through the civil courts for compensation based on any contract
that they believe is enforceable.
Please withdraw from the confiscation process.
