BBC 'will not appeal' against Cliff Richard ruling
THE BBC will not appeal against a High Court ruling that it breached Cliff Richard’s privacy by broadcasting a police raid on his home, the corporation announced yesterday.
Mr Richard was awarded £210,000 in damages last month, including £20,000 for aggravated damages, because the BBC had submitted its coverage for a Scoop of the Year award.
The corporation said it would write to the Attorney General and ask him to “consider a review of the law in this important area to protect the right to properly and fairly report criminal investigations, and to name the person under investigation.”
