More than 2,000 subpostmasters lost out financially because of faulty software.
A year since wrongful convictions of subpostmasters were first overturned, most say they are no closer to agreeing a financial compensation settlement.One victim, Jo Hamilton, told the BBC: "Subpostmasters have lost everything and they need it to be given back."The case has been described as the most widespread miscarriage of justice in legal history.
Ms Hamilton, who had a criminal conviction hanging over her for 12 years, has told the BBC's Panorama programme that "justice would be for everyone to be put back to where they would have been had none of this happened". The Post Office said: "We want to provide full, fair and final settlements and are urging the government, who are the funders of the compensation, to help us reach agreement with the legal representatives of the postmasters and therefore be able to make payments as soon as possible."But those individuals are not the only ones still waiting.
that those individuals would be given the same level of compensation as others, but has yet to publish details as to how that will happen.
