The Post Office has spent twice as much on legal fees, totaling £390m, as it has on compensation, which stands at £169m, for victims of the Horizon scandal. This financial imbalance underscores the emphasis on legal defenses over compensating affected individuals. Victims, including former sub-postmistress Jo Hamilton, have voiced feelings of 'survivor's guilt' during the settlement process, reflecting the personal impact alongside the financial strain.
