Parekh, Vijay
Published:
Vijay Parekh was convicted in November 2010 of theft and received a sentence of 18 months’ imprisonment.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in September 2016.
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 August 2020.
The Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in April 2021.
