Dear Percy Moat
We are writing in respect of your information request, FOI2023/00558. At
present our view is that your request falls within the scope of the
qualified exemption at Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act ("
FOIA"), relating to Commercial Interests.
As permitted by section 10 of the FOIA, Post Office Limited (" Post
Office") requires further time to consider the public interest test in
relation to this exemption. An extension is permitted until such time as
is reasonable in the circumstances. Having considered the FOIA Code of
Practice, Post Office considers that an extension of 20 working days is
appropriate in this instance and will therefore aim to respond to you by
17th November.

It is astonishing that Womble Bond Dickinson lawyers pocketed £37,498,000 from advising the Post Office on how to conduct the Horizon IT litigation.
I hope this is mentioned in Mr Bates vs. The Post Office
