Part 2: Association with the Games Section 7: Protection for persons with an interest in goods or documents
Section 7 provides that those with an interest in any goods or documents that are subject to court proceedings have certain rights. This means that any application to the court must be served on any identifiable person with an interest in the goods, and that an interested party can appear in the court proceedings or even bring an appeal. For example, an interested party could be someone who owns goods (even if they were not in that person’s control). In the event a court makes an order under section 6(3)(c) for the return of goods or documents, it may order the return of those goods to anyone with an interest in them. For example, the Organising Committee may bring action against Person A who is in the possession of infringing goods or documents, whilst the goods actually belong to Person B. If Person B can be identified, the notices should be served on both Person A and B. Should a court decide to order those goods to be returned, the court would consider the interests of both Person A and B before making such an order.
	Subsection (2) provides that no order for destruction or forfeiture will be exercised until after the appeals period ends or any appeal is determined or abandoned. The appeals period for statutory appeals is specified in the relevant court rules.
