Post Office Manager Had 'Too Many Cases' To Handle

Post Office Manager Graham Ward tells the Post Office Inquiry that the Financial Investigation Unit, charged with pursuing subpostmasters that had been convicted following their prosecutions, had 'Too Many Cases' To Handle as it used the Proceeds of Crime Act to get orders taking money and assets of subpostmasters to cover alleged shortfalls identified using Horizon following Post Office Investigations.

The 'floor amount' of £10,000 had to be increased to £20,000 when it became clear there were too many cases to pursue with amounts below this being considered too low a priority to pursue.
