That definitive wording, in the Beeb’s own voice,  is like definitively stating:

The cover up of the Malcolm Balen report is illegal in UK and EU law, although the BBC disputes this.

As for the legality of settlements, Nicholas Rostow‘s well-rounded piece overturns the Beeb’s decision. Case dismissed.
