This article presents a very odd version of what happened. Simon Clarke was the lawyer that actually stopped the Post Office prosecutions as soon as he got involved.
In this case he went to the judge and said he was aware of the existence of a report that needed to be disclosed, but it could not be given to anyone (including Simon Clarke) until the report had been presented to parliament. The judge granted the exemption for 8 weeks, after which the report was provided to the defense.
