Can "nobody" issue a DRS

wiposucks · 11-02-2010, 04:22:16 PM

I have been updated by my friend as follows;

"Nominet Counsel has advised that it is not for them to interfere in
these matters and even a party that does not legally exist can register a domain and issue a DRS . That is what they have effectively said. They said it is for the "expert" to decide ".

Hmm, strange that it is only seemingly Nominet that let
non entities enter contracts that they cannot legally enter.

In this case it would be helpful to see the question/s asked of Counsel and their full response, so as to ensure that no spin was being applied...

BB, will see what can find out although he did say he doesnt
want to tell me too much as is at sensitive stage but will ask.
I think that all that was simply asked was how it was that an unicorporated association could issue a DRS when it is not a legal entity able to do so. Will ask and post if can find out,

The name still exists, it's just than the contract between Nominet and the registrant doesn't exist, so Nominet could revoke it if they were minded to. A bit like the prenoms at the time!

Just heard the latest on this. The Complainant is failing to advise the Respondent what their legal status actually is (i.e. are they limited company, partnership etc etc) and Nominet seem to be saying they do not care.

Is the Respondent not entitled to know who actually is taking the DRS so he can properly reply ?
