Hussain, Neelam
Published:
Neelam Hussain was convicted in June 2011 of theft and received a sentence of 21 months’ imprisonment.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in January 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 September 2020.
The Court of Appeal upheld the conviction in April 2021.
