Recommendation
Every eligible, wrongly convicted applicant to HCRS now has a right to at least £600,000 in compensation. The Government must immediately take the compassionate act of making this payment upfront to all those eligible as soon as possible, regardless of whether sub-postmasters then seek additional redress through the fully-assessed route.
