Post Office latest: Inquiry to hear from former in-house lawyer - BBC News Post Office latest: Inquiry hears from former in-house lawyer - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
Julian Blake, counsel to the inquiry, begins today's evidence from Susan Crichton. Staying in October 2010, Blake turns to an email from Post Office lawyer Jarnail Singh, who has appeared before the inquiry last year. The email relates to Seema Misra being found guilty.
Crichton is looking at her witness statement and confirms she signed it and it is true to the best of her knowledge. It reads: "It is hoped the case will set a marker to dissuade other defendants from jumping on the Horizon bashing bandwagon."
As we have seen in many of these proceedings, Crichton is making a few corrections as well - minor grammatical mistakes - to the witness statement. Crichton confirms to the inquiry that she received the email, but says she doesn't recall a phone call to discuss matters going forwards after Misra's case had concluded.
Before her questioning starts, Crichton says she takes time to say to "all those that have suffered... that I am truly sorry for the suffering caused to you and your families".
Crichton says she wishes issues were solved more quickly, and hopes giving evidence means "something like this never happens again".
