Tell them to pay up or shut up. Do they not understand capitalism?

Unfortunately folk that lodge disputes will never be buyers. At the end I will have a £1,500 legal bill and the Complainant has tried their arm for £10 (plus their time).

The enticement of £200 summary decisions cannot be underestimated as a factor to try it on!

@ foz :

Does the complainant own .co.uk they want to transfer?

@ foz :

No. The complaint is laid against my .co.uk (4 years old), the .uk is unregistered.

Any chance of getting this complainant into the Hall of Shame? :lol:

Did they try to negotiate with you on the .co.uk? I would think if they were genius enough to draft that kind of complaint, they would have read and understood the .uk rights rule! :lol:

You may not have to fight this battle at all!

No previous correspondence (in 4 years of my ownership). I think they understand the .uk rule, hence them laying a complaint against the .co.uk.

The outcome deserves a permanent link on the NOMINET website as a 'guide' for intending malicious complainants!

4 running complaints now.

This .uk thing has awaken the masses.

Wow - you must have sorn interesting names. Not a flicker of interest in .uk from my recent contacts.

I had a letter today (snail mail) demanding I transfer surname.uk (for zero sum) or they would commence DRS proceedings.

Lay peoples interpretation of DRS policy plus £10 filing fee = Domainer grief.

I don't think they are charging to file?

FFS. Thanks.

All the fees for appointing experts are paid to the experts - we do not take any money for providing this service.

So, does anyone know who these 'experts' are, how they are appointed and what credibility they have etc?

(I guess a fair few are on this forum)

 

[julian]

Are nominet effectively washing hands of this process by using outside resource to make nasty decisions.

So if Mr Willoughby makes a decision that results in the loss of a domain, is it him that's potentially getting a good suing?

There was a list on the a nominet web site, along with an explanation. I think they apply and are considered based on merit. Tony Willoughby is the chief expert.

Under DRS I can't claim legal costs, just wondering if their is a civil way to recoup them? Is it possible to put charges against companies/entities in the UK?
