Clarkson's offended entire countries without remorse and everyone involved moves on and gets on with their lives. Does anyone know the jurisdiction for this legal action? I suspect treatment of the case in the UK will differ to that in the US.

Actually, the papers they've filed with the courts specify damages <100k GBP. Which further makes one wonder why they would bother.

Oh, that's interesting. And yes, boggles the mind why they'd bother.

I think the intent of the lawsuit is to stop that episode from continuing to air rather than get damages.
