Post Office Horizon: Group Litigation Order (GLO) ex gratia payment scheme

Details
In 2019, a number of postmasters who had taken the first legal action against the Post Office over Horizon received £43 million plus legal costs in a settlement. However, much of this money was swallowed up by the associated costs of funding their case, and they were ineligible for the Historical Shortfall Scheme (HSS) that was subsequently set up to compensate other affected postmasters.

The government confirmed in March 2022 that it would therefore create a new scheme to ensure the GLO group has access to similar levels of compensation to their non-GLO peers.

Postmasters are asked to send their views by 26 September 2022 to glocompensation@beis.gov.uk.
