Bonus content: Panel discussion on 'The limits to equality — access to justice and scandal'

In this panel discussion to accompany the second lecture of our Talk 200 series, Nazir Afzal is joined by Tom Hedges, sub-postmaster at Hogsthorpe Post Office near Skegness from 1994 until he was unjustly sacked in 2010, aged 57, after being wrongfully accused of false accounting; barrister and advocate Thalia Maragh; and Suzanne Gower, PhD researcher, lecturer in Law and former Managing Director of legal charity APPEAL.

The panel was chaired by Claire McGourlay, Professor of Legal Education at Manchester and a National and Principal Fellow of the HEA. Against the backdrop of recent injustices both in the UK and globally, including the ongoing Post Office scandal, they considered the disparities in access to justice and how we might chart a path towards fairer treatment within the legal sphere.
