Dear Sir or Madam,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Olympic Delivery
Authority's handling of my FOI request 'Legal actions threatened by
ODA legal team'.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/legal_actions_threatened_by_oda
I find your answer pedantic in the extreme. You make great efforts
to somehow construe common English words such as 'to' 'by' and
'against' in such a way that you can claim you don't hold the
information I requested. Some might call this a clear example of
willful obstruction.
Do you mean to tell me the ODA holds no records of how often and
against whom it has threatened legal action? I find that difficult
to believe. Particularly when I read on the ODA's own website the
following:
http://www.london2012.com/about/our-brand/using-the-brand.php
"The London 2012 Organising Committee is obliged to protect the
Games' Marks in order to raise the funds needed to host the 2012
Games. Unauthorised use of the Games' Marks is against the law.
The London 2012 Organising Committee expects that everyone will
refrain from unauthorised use of the Games' Marks. If necessary,
however, the London 2012 Organising Committee is prepared to take
legal action to protect the Games' Marks.
This could include court orders for the seizure of unauthorised
merchandise and the payment of compensation."
I therefore look forward to a substantive reply in the positive.
Yours sincerely,
Heather Brooke
