Agreed — we had a call with CK this morning and we definitely need a con with Brian when he gets back — we may need
this in two parts one with CK and one with just POL ... need to work on tactics. Could you see when he is available?

Susan
The bit of the advice that concerns me is:

"I would advise that either the conference calls be continued or that some other centrally based mechanism be designed,
so as to permit the collation of all Horizon-related defects, bugs, complaints, queries and Fujitsu remedies, arising from all
sources, into one location. Such a mechanism would amount to proper compliance with that aspect of a prosecutor's duty
relating to the recording and retention of relevant information."

This approach is very robust but the question is whether this is workable in practice? Perhaps CK could be asked to
consider if there is an easier but still defensible way to meet the disclosure duty?

I'll forward CK's note on to Brian when he gets back from hols. I think a con with CK and Brian (and someone who is not
part of the criminal team to objectively supervise ie. you, me, Rodric or Hugh?) would be a good idea. Do you want me to
make the arrangements for this con?

Kind regards
Andy

Susan,

Please find attached Harry Bowyer's Response to Brian Altman QC's Interim Report. I asked Harry to
draft the response in Simon Clarke's absence given the urgency of the situation.

I would be grateful if Harry's Response could be sent to Brian Altman QC together with the Review
Protocol and Simon Clarke's Advice on Disclosure.

Kind regards,

Martin.
