Honours for expert helping Post Office scandal victims and community heroes

Professor Richard Moorhead, from the University of Exeter, has spent three decades working to improve legal ethics and the quality and accessibility of lawyers and courts.

His early submissions to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry helped to ensure the role of lawyers in miscarriages of justice will be properly considered. He has been awarded an OBE.

Prof Moorhead said: “While delighted and not a little proud, it is important to say that a good dollop of luck and the support of those around me is what makes for moments like these.
