Post Office latest: Former top Post Office lawyer resumes giving evidence - BBC News Post Office latest: Lawyer told not to apologise to sub-postmasters, inquiry hears - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
The inquiry is now discussing advice from barrister Simon Clarke, acting for solicitors' firm Cartwright King, to the Post Office in 2013, which outlined that Gareth Jenkins was an unreliable expert witness and other concerns over documents that may have been shredded. That brings to an end Crichton's evidence to the Post Office Inquiry. Next we'll hear from Chris Aujard, the Post Office's former general counsel.
Remember, Jenkins, a former chief IT architect at Fujitsu, was considered to be an unreliable expert witness because he had failed to tell the courts about bugs and defects with the Horizon system which he knew about. The inquiry is taking a quick break, but we'll bring you the latest lines as soon as it returns.
Crichton tells the inquiry she should, as general counsel, have put in place a process to ensure Clarke's advice and other matters of that significance were surfaced at board level.
She cannot recall why it was not raised, but remembers that "there was a lot going on".
