I know they are now allowed to retain domains, but surely not in the original registrants details?

I'd be suprised... why would they let it go for 12+ hours before renewing it today, and risk it dropping and getting caught in that time? It's also still legally in the original registrants name, which wouldn't make any sense.

I don't think the issue here is that big registrars can keep good domains for themselves it's more that this registrar seemed to take the risk of allowing the domain to potentially drop before renewing. There are only 2 reasons I can see to do it this way: 1) They realised late and were very lucky (highly doubtful as it's a Sunday and everything is most likely automated) or 2) They already knew what time it was going to drop and the system was set up to use that as the last minute renewal (of course we know that can't possibly be the case as nobody, even nominet's biggest registrar , knows what time a domain will drop).

One thing I'm not sure at what time the EPP went down. I guess if it was down at the new day time a renew request might have been sent the day before the domain was due to drop but wasn't processed until some time later. That would make sense as there would have been zero risk of the domain dropping assuming everything was running correctly.
