SFO E-Discovery Review Update

UK Gov

Our Director of Operations Emma Luxton provides information on our review of past e-discovery software.

In a February 2025 post we committed to updating on the findings of our review of past cases on our legacy e-discovery system and this work is almost complete.

We identified 66 historic conviction cases that used our legacy Autonomy system, which we needed to check to see whether there was any material which might cast doubt upon the safety of any past conviction.

Only three cases now remain to be reviewed, and I can confirm that we have not found any material which casts doubt upon the safety of any past conviction.

Reviewing these past cases has been a crucial step in meeting our post-conviction disclosure obligations to defendants and we have contacted every defendant possible to share the findings and process of review with them.

If you are a defendant and believe your case may have been affected, and have not heard from us already, please contact us directly via
