The corporation can give details about the man alleged to be a dangerous abuser but not name him.
A High Court ruling will allow the BBC to publish a story about a man it says exploited his status as an MI5 informant to abuse his partner.An injunction still bans the corporation identifying the man, known in court proceedings as X.
Attorney General Suella Braverman had applied for an injunction preventing X from being identified by the publication of a planned BBC story. The BBC wanted to name the man who it says used his intelligence status to coerce and terrify a former partner and poses an ongoing threat to women.It argued that MI5 should have known about his behaviour and it was inappropriate to use him as an agent or a covert human intelligence source.
