flag A former subpostmaster challenges a 2007 ruling over Horizon system errors, alleging fraud by the Post Office and Fujitsu.

flag Lee Castleton, a former subpostmaster, is challenging a 2007 court ruling that ordered him to pay £25,858.95 after the Post Office accused him of missing funds, claiming the judgment was obtained by withholding evidence of known flaws in the Horizon system. flag He argues the Post Office and Fujitsu conspired to pervert justice, seeking to have the ruling set aside due to fraud. flag The case is part of a wider scandal affecting about 1,000 subpostmasters wrongfully prosecuted over Horizon system errors, resulting in over £1 billion in compensation. flag The Post Office and Fujitsu say a 2019 settlement bars his claim, prompting a legal battle over whether a separate trial is needed.
