Aneka Thirurajah, a lawyer at Hodge Jones & Allen, is part of the team representing Seema Misra, and has been speaking with me about the evidence we heard from Jon Longman earlier today.
“It was interesting to hear that with hindsight, as so many other witnesses have said, that he may have done things differently.
“But I think for me it was quite disappointing that despite all of this, and despite Misra coming in person herself, she never once got an apology from Longman,” she says.
Longman’s evidence, Thirurajah says, demonstrates there was a “wider cultural failing” within the Post Office.
In one sense it was good for Longman to have admitted there was “institutional bias”, she says, but adds: “At the end of the day it doesn’t change anything that happened back in 2010 when Seema’s case was being heard.
“It’s good that they are aware of it now, but at what cost? Because that is 14 years later.”
