About this Event
The Post Office Scandal is an indelible stain on the British justice system: hundreds of sub-postmasters were wrongly labelled criminals, ruining lives and destroying communities. But the real scandal was that the Post Office’s lawyers knew the evidence was flawed but failed to act, in their quest to defend a corporation. Why did they not stop it?
In Indefensible, John Hyde dives into how legal professionals failed in their duties, silenced the truth and even turned against the victims, including accounts from people who were advised to enter guilty pleas. But it is not just about the Post Office; this is a wider examination of the legal profession and its ethical boundaries, asking whether lawyers are putting clients' interests above justice and how to stop such a disaster from happening again.
Copies of Indefensible will be available to purchase. This event takes place in the Moot Court Room, Manchester Law School, Manchester Metropolitan University
