"Although many of the individuals who gave evidence before me were very reluctant to
accept it, I am satisfied from the evidence that I have heard that a number of senior,
and not so senior, employees of the Post Office knew or, at the very least, should have
known that Legacy Horizon was capable of error as described above.3 Yet, for all practical
purposes, throughout the lifetime of Legacy Horizon, the Post Office maintained the
fiction that its data was always accurate."
