Post Office lawyer accused of 'big fat lie' at inquiry
Former senior Post Office lawyer Jarnail Singh has denied that he knew about bugs in the Horizon system while sub-postmaster prosecutions continued for three years.
However, lead counsel for the Horizon inquiry Jason Beer accused Mr Singh of telling a "big fat lie".
Mr Singh was forwarded an email on the eve of the 2010 trial of Seema Misra, a sub-postmistress who was sent to jail while pregnant.
It identified bugs in the Horizon system that should have been disclosed in Mrs Misra's trial.
Mr Singh denied having read the email, despite being presented with evidence that he saved a copy to his hard drive and printed it off.
