In recent versions of biblatex, firstinits has been renamed to
giveninits. I looks like oscola has not yet been updated to this change
(and you should submit a bug report to the oscola developers).
Try if the following helps as a workaround in the preamble:
\newtoggle{blx@giveninits}
If you use the "firstinits" option, the output might not be correct.
