what should our client do now ??

Nothing...except go to Court. But good luck demonstrating any/all enforceable
claims.

When we register domain names with our preferred registrar, we agree to one
of its provisions:

From what you stated, your client supposedly never received any notice of an
action for such. What happened afterwards is unfortunate.

It sucks. But that's life sometimes.

Our client didn't check his email and when checked it after say two months, he found that 2 - 3 notices sent and decision given in favour of the other party by >> http://www.adrforum.com/

what should our client do now ??

he has no interest in the domains, but he only seeks a compensation of say $ 200 to transfer both domains to the other party ?

What say

just from experience...


send a reply email, stating that they can initiate a transfer request for the domain to the registrar of their choice and you will approve the transfer.
this way no additional cost.

or, point the domain to their main site, and send reply email with notification of the "host settings" of the domain, until such time it expires, or is transfered.

possibly, you can delete the names and send notification of your actions also.

however, if a decision has been handed down from the court, with specific directions for you to follow or penalties, fines, etc, then......

see a lawyer

Why don't you try checking whois for the domains...

They have already been transferred by the registrar.

I think your client should just let it go, its not worth a legal battle for a domain like this, its a bad and long .info to begin with, not even worth $5 IMO, so I think you have to figure out what domains are worth fighting for and which are not, in this case you would probably lose anyway, and trying to get some little money out of it could cost you a lot more if they decide to take it to court...and doing something "out of principal" is foolish and doesnt get you anywhere

i\that website says..."National Arbitration Forum"....so if it`s National it does not have overseas jurisdiction......right?
