As per conversation In para 4 iii the note says?
iii. That protection would not be available to an organisation which conducted its prosecutions ,,in-
house“, that is, in POL“s case, using lawyers employed directly by POL.
Am I right in interpreting this as meaning that as Post Office does not conduct its prosecutions in
house - that is, it uses Cartwright King rather than directly employed lawyers - any claim for
malicious prosecution would properly stand against Cartwright King and not POL, provided we
follow our normal processes as described in the advice.
I realise the danger of trying to paraphrase the advice for the purpose of clarification but I found
the wording in 4 iii (that is, couching the point in terms of the protection 'not' being available) left
me grappling with negatives so I want make sure I am absolutely clear.
Can clarify this please.
Thanks
