| Organisation | Case | Status | Conduct toward the regulator | Sanction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post Office / Fujitsu | 1999–2024 | Proven | Around 900 subpostmasters were convicted on evidence from the Horizon system between 2000 and 2015. Fujitsu knew the system produced unexplained shortfalls, and gave evidence in court that it was robust 2930 | Convictions quashed by statute Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Act 2024, in force 24 May 2024. The CCRC calls it the biggest series of wrongful convictions in UK legal history. As of 2025 no Post Office or Fujitsu employee has been held to account 2930 |
| UK Home Office | 2023 | Proven | The policy of removing asylum seekers to Rwanda. The Supreme Court held unanimously that Rwanda was not a safe third country and that there was a real risk of refoulement — return to a country where a person faces persecution. UNHCR evidence on deficiencies in the Rwandan asylum system was central to the finding 3132 | Policy held unlawful [2023] UKSC 42, 15 November 2023, upholding the Court of Appeal 31 |
| UK Home Office | 2024–2025 | Proven | An audit finding, not a finding of wrongdoing. The National Audit Office put the expected cost of the asylum system across 2019–29 at £15.3bn against an earlier forecast of £4.5bn. Hotel accommodation accounts for £3.1bn a year — 76% of the accommodation cost, housing 35% of claimants. Alternatives such as former military sites cost more per person, not less 3334 | No sanction — this is an audit The NAO reports to Parliament on value for money; it does not impose penalties 33 |
| UK government & NHS | 1970s–2024 | Proven | Contaminated blood and blood products given to NHS patients. The statutory Inquiry found the disaster could “largely, though not entirely, have been avoided”, that patients were knowingly exposed to risk, and that successive governments and the NHS covered up what had happened — in the Inquiry's words, to save face and to save expense 3536 | Public inquiry findings; compensation scheme recommended More than 3,000 deaths attributed; around 30,000 infected. Final report 20 May 2024 3536 |
| Cladding manufacturers | 2024 | Proven | The Grenfell Tower Inquiry found “systematic dishonesty” by the firms that made and sold the rainscreen cladding and insulation, which had “engaged in deliberate and sustained strategies to manipulate the testing processes, misrepresent test data and mislead the market”. Arconic had known for years that its statements about the fire performance of Reynobond 55PE were inaccurate 3738 | Public inquiry findings 1,700-page Phase 2 report, 4 September 2024, after a six-year inquiry. Criminal investigations were left to the Metropolitan Police 37 |
| UK Dept of Health & Social Care | 2022 | Proven | The “high priority lane” for PPE contracts. The High Court held it operated in breach of the obligation of equal treatment, prioritising bids on a “flawed basis” and treating firms as high priority “even where there were no objectively justifiable grounds”. The case concerned £592m of contracts to PestFix and Ayanda Capital 39 | Held unlawful; £9.9bn of PPE written off Of £13.6bn spent, stock worth £3.7bn remained — defective, unsuitable or expired 3940 |
