It appears that Geeta Guru-Murthy has withdrawn from the legal action, meaning it's only four presenters involved. It's also been noted that director general Tim Davie was embroiled over alleged comments he made back in Oct 2022 to Kasia Madera.

There's an article at deadline.com and it's covered on a few other newspaper websites.
It looks like they're hoping for a full hearing "potentially later this year", so there's probably not much to add until then. Hopefully the legal action won't result in them being kept off screen until its resolved. One assumes that this particular subject won't get reported on the News Channel when any of these presenters are on air.
