BBC v Harper Collins (2010) EWHC 2424 was a 2010 case in English law, in which the British Broadcasting Corporation 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.

Judgement

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