The Bar Standards Board is committed to taking enforcement action against barristers who failed in their professional or ethical duties in the Post Office cases. To that end, we continue to review the available evidence of potential breaches of professional duties by barristers connected with this litigation.
We had expected to bring cases to the Independent Decision-Making Body over the summer, after identifying material used at the Inquiry that is important to our investigations. However, we are still negotiating permission from the document creators to share these documents with the barristers and the Independent Decision-Making Body.
Where matters are within our control, we remain focused on progressing our investigations and putting cases before the Independent Decision-Making Body as soon as possible.
