Encore une fois, yet again?

Another lawyer takes their turn in the spotlight

There was one interesting new detail in the closing submissions for Phase 3, along with a some very interesting details about Anne Chambers debrief post-Castleton. The new detail is a new name for the rather lengthy roster of lawyers who’s work will feature in Phase 4 of the Post Office Inquiry starting next month. It relates, it seems to me, to the design and execution of an aggressive legal strategy for managing financial risks (created by faulty software as Phase 3 has amply demonstrated). Ed Henry KC, Counsel for some of the claimants, claimed there was:

A deliberate strategy and you will, sir, be drawn to a memorandum and a post-trial advice where Mr Morgan, King's Counsel [now not then, I think], said that he would be delighted to address the board on the matter as to how and I don't suggest that he regarded it as a stratagem, but stratagem it was, that this is how we get them themselves to reverse the burden of proof: get them to sign before they go.

No more details are available yet to evaluate this claim.
