Parcel delivery company Evri sues the BBC for about £1.2 million, according to multiple UK outlets, alleging libel over a segment of a Panorama programme. The claim is linked to “Evri: Where’s My Parcel?” which airs a 15-minute portion on 15 December 2024. Evri argues that parts of the broadcast wrongly suggested it operates exploitative business practices, and that it caused the company serious financial loss by prompting customers and drivers to complain and discouraging prospective clients. Evri also alleges the programme misled Parliament by falsely stating it did not underpay couriers, and it seeks damages connected to lost opportunities. The BBC is not described in the reports as conceding liability; instead, the coverage focuses on Evri’s legal action filed in the High Court and the specific points Evri says were inaccurate. Other headlines included in the compiled links also reference Evri’s “libellous” claims and subsequent responses, but the core dispute across sources is the alleged defamatory content in the Panorama documentary and the damages Evri seeks.
