Buffrey, Wendy
Published:
Wendy Buffrey was convicted in October 2010 of theft and false accounting. Ms Buffrey received 150 hours of community service and was ordered to repay £26,256.63 to the Post Office and £1,500 in costs.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in January 2019.
This was one of the CCRC’s “Post Office” cases, referred on the basis that the prosecution amounted to an abuse of process and that therefore there was a real possibility the appellate court would not uphold the conviction.
You can find out more about Post Office / Horizon cases on the CCRC’s dedicated hub.

The CCRC referred the conviction in June 2020.
The Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in April 2021.
