Question regarding .uk right to register

[devilsrefugee]

Hey,

Say a .co.uk is suspended and likely to be drop catched (premium domain that is a generic single word) and the .uk is yet to be registered, does the new owner (who we will assume drop catched the domain) have a legal right to the unreg'ed .uk? Or is it a first come first served basis?

Probably a stupid question, but would like some form of clarification or feedback on this please.

Thank you

When a .co.uk drops, the .uk is released and is sometimes caught with the .co.uk by one or two different catchers, if the .uk is not regged, you are free to hand reg it.

Let me guess, this domain begins with a 'c' and ends with an 'a'
