The first criminal conviction linked to the Post Office Capture system has been referred to the Court of Appeal.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has decided to refer the case of sub-postmistress Patricia Owen, who was convicted in 1998 of theft and later died in 2003.
Her daughter Juliet Shardlow said: "I feel angry that she is not here because she died before her time. I can't put it into words because it's still all a shock that we are where we are and that later this year, or next year, we might have what we set out to get… justice for her."
It comes after Sky News revealed that a damning report into Capture, which could help overturn criminal convictions, had been unearthed after nearly 30 years.
