CCRC publishes detailed submission chronology — unprecedented step

The Criminal Cases Review Commission takes the unprecedented step of publishing a detailed timeline of every filing received in the Letby case to date, to counter possible misunderstandings about processing delays. The chronology records nine filings between 3 February 2025 (preliminary application received Monday evening) and 11 December 2025 (waiver of privilege and defence material received), including dates for expert reports (31 March, 15 April), main submissions (2 May), further expert reports (15 August), notice of forthcoming submissions (2 September) and further submissions (8 October). The Commission emphasises: 'We make impartial, evidence-based decisions. We do not make decisions on the basis of external pressure from anyone.'
