UK Sub-Postmasters Claim Onerous Terms in Litigation Funding Agreement
A UK case involving the post office, buggy accounting software, and widespread accusations of theft was big news across the pond. After numerous sub-postmasters were accused of theft, many endured firing, public shaming, loss of property, and even jail time. The real culprit was bad accounting software made by a company called Horizon. Now, the plaintiffs are alleging that the bulk of their payout will go to the firm that financed the legal case—and not to the people who were actually hurt.
