BBC v HarperCollins (2010) EWHC 2424 was a 2010 case in English law, in which the BBC applied for an injunction to prevent HarperCollins publishing a book by Ben Collins, which was to reveal his identity as the racing driver known as 'The Stig' on the BBC's Top Gear programme.[1]

Judgement

The BBC was not granted the injunction. HarperCollins thus released the book in September 2010.
