Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just to confirm the case is still going to trial starting on 4 December 2006. We are endeavouring to agree a
sensible trial timetable with Mr Castleton's solicitors and I will update you again as soon as I am able.
In the meantime, if there are any dates when you cannot make it which you have not already given me, please let
me know and copy in my colleague Tom Bourne [°
Kind regards.

Subject: Trial Date: Post Office Limited -v- Mr L Castleton
Ladies and Gentlemen,
There was been a procedural hearing at Court yesterday to review the timetable on this case and set new
directions.
The Master decided that, amongst other things, the trial must proceed in December 2006. Accordingly, it will
commence on 4 December 2006 and will probably last 7 to 10 days. It will take place at the Royal Courts of
Justice, London. As previously indicated, please could everyone who has given a witness statement blank out two
weeks in your diaries starting on 4 December 2006 and keep these dates free for the time being. You will not be
required to attend for the whole of that time and we liaise with Mr Castleton's solicitors:
1. to agree that as many of you as possible should not have to attend Court to give oral evidence. (For example,
I'm hoping to persuade them that most if not all of our witnesses from P.O Chesterfield and P.O Leeds should not
attend. If they agree, this will help shorten the trial and save costs); and
2. for those of you that are needed to attend, we have a timetable, so we can give you a specific time for when
you will be required to be there to keep the inconvenience to a minimum.
I will keep you fully updated as and when I hear further, which is likely to be some time after 10 November at the
earliest.
In the meantime, if there are any particular dates from the 2 weeks commencing 4 December 2006 onwards when
you definitely cannot attend Court, please let me know as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.
Yours sincerely
Stephen Dilley
