Stig wrangle continues in private
BBC - 31 August 2010

The Stig has never removed his helmet on the show

A court case to prevent the identity of Top Gear's The Stig from being revealed is to continue being heard in private.
The judge at the High Court said the case should proceed behind closed doors, as publicity would defeat the purpose of the hearing.
The BBC began legal action last week to block HarperCollins from publishing an autobiography which would unmask the character.
It says the planned book would breach confidentiality obligations.

Arguing for HarperCollins, Hugh Tomlinson QC said the press and public should be allowed to hear the legal arguments.
He added the press could be subject to extensive restrictions to prevent any confidential information being revealed before the conclusion of the case.
