Post Office inquiry live: Lawyer Rodric Williams suspicious of BBC interview request - BBC News Post Office inquiry live: Lawyer Rodric Williams suspicious of BBC interview request - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
The inquiry continues to discuss the known error logs, or 'KELs'. The inquiry is taking a break for lunch until 14:00 BST.
Jason Beer KC, who is questioning Rodric Williams, says it appears the Post Office's suggested approach from its lawyers - "either from you or communicated through you" - is that "we shouldn't look at documents that might contain adverse material, because we might have to disclose them". Stay with us as we catch you up with a few more things that we heard from Rodric Williams before the break.
"Instead lets wait until the litigation is over and our duties of disclosure have ceased to arise?" Beer asks.
Williams later says: "I'm saying it's a way to mitigate the risk".
Beer questions this, exclaiming, "Risk of what?"
Williams went on to say: "Once the litigation concluded, we didn't have a duty to disclose..."
Barr responded: "That's why you have to discharge the duty in the litigation... before it's concluded".
Williams said "that work was being undertaken".
