Cases

Jockey Club v Buffham

Facts

In the course of producing a programme in the Panorama series entitled "The Corruption of Racing", the BBC was given by the Defendant a number of documents which he had obtained while employed as Head of Security of the Jockey Club. The BBC wished to use them in the programme but was concerned about the effect of a final order that had been made in proceedings between the parties which prohibited the Defendant from divulging any confidential information of the Jockey Club, including information related to investigations by the Security Department. The BBC applied for a variation of the final order to enable it to use the documents.
