Overview

• Court records show the claim was filed Friday against the BBC and BBC Studios and is listed as a data protection case under the High Court's media and communications track.
• The BBC says it has not been formally notified of proceedings and declined to comment.
• Reports indicate Wallace is seeking disclosure of hundreds of pages of internal documents relating to his sacking.
• Wallace has signaled he may also pursue a disability discrimination claim linked to his autism diagnosis, which was noted during the investigation.
• The Lewis Silkin review led Banijay and the BBC to deem his return untenable, co-host John Torode was also removed, and the BBC aired an edited series while moving to install Grace Dent and Anna Haugh as new hosts.
