Subject: Fw: Horizon

Jane - please see the email below from the CCRC. Two things of note:

1. CCRC want to meet; and
2. CCRC have now received applications from convicted postmasters.

lam trying to progress with BD/Brian Altman QC the discussion we had on Friday so that ideally we have a con early next
week which considers both how we get comfort over the safety of past prosecutions, and our further engagement with
the CCRC.

in the meantime, I propose responding to CCRC's email by acknowledging receipt, noting that I'm out of the office for
the rest of the week but that I have forwarded the email internally so that we can respond early next week (if that's
acceptable).

Do you agree?

Kind regards, Rod

Hi Rodric

I trust this email finds you well.

I have a couple of things which I hope you can help me with.

Following discussions with Sally Berlin, the CCRC Director of Casework, we think that perhaps it may be useful to arrange
a meeting between CCRC and POL so that we can better establish the issues and clarify the level of CCRC involvement.
Is this something that you would be amenable to?

Secondly, we have now started to receive applications from individuals who may be affected by any Horizon issues. As is
standard practice, the Commission will send out a section 17 request to any prosecuting authority for information and the
preservation of material relating to an applicant. When dealing with CPS, we send both hard and electronic copies. Do
you have an appropriate email address for your legal department that we could use for these requests?

Many thanks
