Order for delivery up of infringing goods, material or articles 3 1 The London Organising Committee may apply to the court for an order for the delivery up to it, or such other person as the court may direct, of any infringing goods, material or articles which a person has in his or her possession, custody or control in the course of a business. 2 The London Organising Committee may not make an application under this Regulation after 31st December 2012. 3 No order shall be made under this Regulation unless the court also makes, or it appears to the court that there are grounds for making, an order under regulation 4 (order as to disposal of infringing goods, etc.). 4 A person to whom any infringing goods, material or articles are delivered up in pursuance of an order under this Regulation shall, if an order under regulation 4 is not made, retain them pending the making of an order, or the decision not to make an order, under that regulation. 5 Nothing in this Regulation affects any other power of the court.
