Overview
- Court documents say Wallace seeks up to £10,000 in damages for distress, harassment and loss of amenity under UK GDPR, plus interest.
- He alleges SARs submitted on 6 March to the BBC and BBC Studios produced no BBC disclosure and partial BBC Studios disclosure with claims of a 'freedom of expression' exemption.
- The filing states BBC Studios wrongly redacted information, including who accessed his data, and that the BBC emailed on 7 August apologising for delays yet still provided no response.
- Wallace is also asking the court to compel both entities to fully comply with the subject access requests.
- His claim follows a Banijay-commissioned investigation that upheld 45 of 83 historical allegations and led to his July removal from MasterChef, which he has contested while apologising for inappropriate language.
