Delivery giant Evri is suing the BBC for around £1.2million after claiming a Panorama investigation inflicted ‘serious financial loss’ and damaged its reputation.
The parcel firm launched a High Court libel action over a 15-minute section of the BBC documentary Evri-Where’s My Parcel?, broadcast on December 15, 2024.
Court papers reveal Evri claims the programme falsely accused the company of exploiting its couriers, paying them below the National Minimum Wage and misleading Parliament over its employment practices.
The company vehemently denies the allegations, insisting the claims are untrue and arguing the broadcast scared off potential customers, costing it contracts worth more than £1.1million.
