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
