Elite Model Agency v BBC
Facts
The Claimants, Elite Model Management Corporation, Elite Model Management Ltd, Elite Model Look SA, sued the BBC over a broadcast about the model agencies' alleged exploitation of young models. The BBC claimed that the Claimants could not be defamed by the programme as the allegations reflected on individuals and not any corporation. If any corporation could be defamed, it was Elite Milan which was in any event not a Claimant to the action.
