Cases

Henry v BBC (No.2)

Facts

In April 2004 the BBC West early evening news bulletin Points West broadcast a report concerning the outcome of an inquiry into allegations that waiting list figures at a local hospital had been systematically falsified. The broadcast contained part of a press conference given by a former employee of the hospital in which she named Marion Henry, the Claimant in this action, as one of the managers who had given instructions to junior members of staff to falsify waiting lists and had subsequently covered up the fraud.
