Summary at a Glance

The Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme was launched by the Government to enable people wrongly convicted of a crime because of the Horizon IT system used by the Post Office to apply for financial redress.

A law firm for the three, which includes two women and a man from across Northern Ireland who do not wish to be identified, said over the past week they have secured total compensation payments of £1.8 million.

Some £1.8 million in redress payments have been secured for three Northern Ireland victims of the Post Office IT scandal.

Convictions were quashed by the Post Office (Horizon Systems) Act 2024, which came after a group of sub-postmasters took legal action against the Post Office.

“The payments secured for three of our clients this week completes their full exoneration, following the overturning of their faulty convictions last year,” he said.
