Alan Bates' 'kangaroo court' claims denied
The Horizon Compensation Advisory Board denies Alan Bates' 'kangaroo court' claims made regarding the sub-postmasters' compensation process, following a disagreement over payout amounts. Sir Alan Bates criticized the process as unfair and lacking transparency, calling it a "quasi-kangaroo court." The board, comprised of parliamentarians and academics, refutes these accusations, stating they are following an agreed-upon process that includes assessment by a respected judge to resolve outstanding cases fairly and bring closure to those affected.
