| Post Office latest: Lawyer deeply sorry for sub-postmasters' 'suffering', inquiry hears - BBC News | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| Inquiry counsel Sam Stevens now asks Aujard his thoughts on the "competence" of Jarnail Singh, a lawyer who was part of the Post Office's in-house criminal law team. | |
| Singh's name has come up several times at the inquiry. | |
| "My recollection is that he was not someone I would go to for higher order matters," Aujard says. Instead, he would refer to law firm Cartwright King for matters including past prosecutions and issues arising from the mediation scheme. | |
| Bugs, errors and defects in the Horizon system come up a lot in the inquiry. Stevens asks Aujard if he ever discussed these with Singh. While he can't recall a specific discussion, Aujard says the legal offices were "very small" and "open plan", so such matters were well known. | |
| "When I joined the Post Office, the message I got was there were no bug, errors or defects apart from those identified in Second Sight report," Aujard adds. | |
