Burgess, Tim
Published:
Tim Burgess was convicted in August 2011 of false accounting and received a community service order of 150 hours and an order to pay £500 in costs.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in February 2020.
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 May 2020.
The Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in April 2021.
