Yes.

No this is not the general consensus but your personal view. Which in my view is a minority opinion.

On a related note, can I recommend a book to you?

Jac's extract states 'Furthermore, a given domain name does not exist until it is registered.'

But in reality what happens is...

Consumer requests name

Seller offers name

Consumer buys name

In today society people don't have time to read, on average a consumer will not pass the first page of google....

Experts may have the knowhow to right a book and I am sure they would not knowingly put their name to a flawed contract....maybe I should back down on my assertions that the contract should not be sold to Consumers without legal representation at the point of sale....I am sure that the whole network of minds wouldn't forget the Consumers rights when deciding who they sell the Nominet contract to...

I hereby back down on my assertions via Acorn but pressurise Trading Standards to decide.

I wouldn't label you as an average consumer by any stretch. I was recommending the book since you seem very interested in domain law and this is a fairly good read, believe it or not.

better book is funky business or a book on the threat of deflation

...I believe this is the one that's important:

Plant v Service Direct (2006)

Lee - I think this is the case that Nominet has come forward as an 'interested party' - I'd suggest if there is still time we do the same (and anyone else really), because if the Judge rules domains as property... well, lets say - domainers you should be very very happy!

Proof if ever it was needed! I haven't got the slightest clue what that means.
