Mr Bates vs the Post Office: The Real Story plot

Mr Bates v The Post Office tells the story of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. Hundreds of innocent postal workers were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting because of a faulty IT system. Many of the wronged workers were prosecuted, some jailed for crimes they never committed, and their lives were irreparably ruined by the scandal. Now, after years of campaigning, postal workers living with criminal convictions are getting justice and having their convictions overturned. While the wait for compensation continues.
