The City of London Corporation is to resume legal action to remove a protest camp outside St Paul's Cathedral.
According to the BBC, a legal notice is to be handed to the camp on Wednesday after talks broke down between the Corporation and members of Occupy London Stock Exchange.
Protesters have been camped outside the cathedral since October 15.
Cathedral officials had considered legal action to force protesters to move on but abandoned plans after a public backlash and the resignations of several cathedral clergy, including the Dean.
It is understood that the Corporation is acting independently in serving up the legal notice to the camp.
The Corporation had paused legal action earlier in the month to continue talks with protesters, but its planning and transportation committee voted to resume the legal action.
A spokesman for Occupy London Stock Exchange was quoted by the BBC as saying: "We are disappointed that the City of London Corporation has decided to cut off the process of dialogue at their end."
