# The Olympics and Paralympics Association Rights (Appointment of Proprietors) Order 2006, Article 7: Exercise of right to bring an action for infringement


(1) The right of the proprietor to bring an action for infringement under section 6 of the 1995 Act shall be exercisable—
(a) where the action is only in respect of a pre-2013 act, by either Olympics association right proprietor, and
(b) where the action is in respect of a post-2012 act (whether or not it is also in respect of a pre-2013 act), by the British Olympic Association and not by the London Organising Committee.
(2) But, an Olympics association right proprietor that brings an action of the type referred to in paragraph (1)(a) may not, without the leave of the court, proceed with that action unless the other Olympics association right proprietor is either joined as a claimant or added as a defendant.
(3) An Olympics association right proprietor who is added as a defendant under paragraph (2) shall not be made liable for any costs in the action unless it takes part in the proceedings.
(4) Nothing in paragraph (2) affects the granting of interlocutory relief on the application of a single Olympics association right proprietor.
