Singer’s case back in court

Lawyers representing British pop star Cliff Richard and the BBC are due back in Britain’s High Court, three weeks after telling a judge of plans to call a truce in a legal battle. The singer has sued over reports naming him as a suspected sex offender, and is seeking ‘‘very substantial’’ damages. Richard has taken legal action against the BBC and South Yorkshire Police over coverage of a raid at his apartment in Sunningdale, Berkshire in August 2014. His lawyers say he suffered ‘‘profound and longlasting’’ harm and should get compensation.
