THE PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

in this research paper we are going to discuss that the Act presents the legislative framework required to endow the UK to fulfil the obligations which the International Olympic Committee location on owner cities.

 In specific, it groups up the Olympic Delivery Authority to consign public part obligations for the Games, principally the essential venues and infrastructure.

Background

On 15 May 2003, the Government broadcast its aim to support a bid to stage the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London. Two months subsequent the British Olympic Association formally notified the International Olympic Committee that London would bid to stage the 2012 Olympics. The bid had three major stakeholders - Government, the Mayor of London and the British Olympic Association - who simultaneously established the bid business 'London 2012' to take ahead the bid on their behalf. The Mayor and Government acquiesced a Memorandum of Understanding setting out how a Games in London would be financed in May 2003. This supplied for assistance to be made from London assembly levy acknowledgements and from lottery funds. In alignment to supply a new Olympic-specific lottery game, legislation was required. This was supplied in the Horserace Betting and Olympic Lottery Act 2004.

In total, nine towns submitted bids to owner the 2012 Games: London, New York, Paris, Madrid, Moscow, Leipzig, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro and Havana. In May 2004 the IOC slash down the shortlist to five 'candidate' towns - London, Paris, Moscow, Madrid and New York. On 15 November 2004 London submitted its suggestions to the IOC for a London Games (the Candidature File). The Candidature File groups out, for demonstration, data on the venues, transport, Games agenda and financing of a London Games.

On 6 July 2005 the IOC broadcast that it had chosen London to owner the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. On being bestowed the Games, the town is directly needed to go in into the 'Host City Contract'. This contract wrappings the obligations of the parties to that contract, which encompass fulfilling all commitments made in the bidding method, and IOC obligations pertaining to the Games, the most of which are set out in the IOC's Technical Manuals. Immediately after London was broadcast Host City for the 2012 Games, the Mayor of London (on behalf of the city) and the British Olympic Association marked the Host City Contract with the IOC.
