Hugely significant day in London, making submissions to the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry. Our focus was on the experience of those wrongly convicted in Scotland, which the chair recognised as ‘very important’. #PostOfficeInquiry

The Post Office Horizon scandal - why we’re still a long way from understanding what led to wrongful convictions in Scotland. #horizon livbrown.co.uk/news/criminal-…

Big day today - a number of us @LivingstoneBrow are running the Great Scottish Run (10k and half marathon) to raise funds for Lawcare, a mental health charity. Any support would be greatly appreciated!gofundme.com/f/livingstone-…

Thanks to @madisonmitchel1 and @DavidWelshFOA, who appeared as counsel, for their tireless and tenacious work in the appeal.

Lessons must be learnt from this national scandal to ensure that these events never happen again.  But we also need answers on why it has taken so long to get to this point, four years after the High Court in England issued a damning verdict on the Horizon computer system.

Susan Sinclair is delighted that the court has granted her appeal and quashed her conviction.  This is the first such successful appeal in Scotland. She should never have been accused of any wrongdoing, far less convicted.

At last - the first Post Office Horizon conviction overturned in Scotland. Susan Sinclair, convicted after trial in April 2004, finally secured justice today at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh. #PostOfficeScandal @LivingstoneBrow

Great opportunity 🔽

Great Scottish Run 2022

Thirteen solicitors from Livingstone Brown took part in the Great Scottish Run today to raise funds for St Andrew’s Hospice. Please help get our total up by visiting justgiving.com/fundraising/li…

We were delighted to act for the petitioner in this important and anxious case. The court held that a local authority failed to properly consider the impact that closing a care centre would have on its vulnerable users. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

An astonishing 18 members of staff at Livingstone Brown - myself included - are taking part in the Great Scottish 10k run to raise money for St Andrew’s Hospice. It would be great to raise a decent amount for this wonderful charity. Please help if you can justgiving.com/fundraising/li…
