Olympic Stadium with lights(1)June 29 - Tottenham Hotspur are refusing to give up on their pursuit of the Olympic Stadium and today went back to the High Court to try to revive their flagging efforts to get the decision to give it to West Ham United and Newham Borough Council after London 2012 overturned.


Judge Justice Davis last week rejected a request from Tottenham and Leyton Orient for a judicial review into the decision.

The club will now have the chance to make a case in an oral hearing at the High Court.

"The Club has today applied to the High Court to renew its application for permission to bring a claim against the London Borough of Newham and the Olympic Park Legacy Company, the Mayor of London and Government Ministers for judicial review of their decisions underlying the bid process for the conversion of the Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Games," the Premier League club said in a statement.

"Under this process the Club now has the opportunity to present its case at an oral hearing at the High Court."
