Are there decisions that discuss a situation where the complainant filed a UDRP without contacting the domain owner first?

From my understanding, the complainant does not contact the owner; the due process (URDP) does.

They do not contact you most of the time prior to filing....

Right, they do not have to but i think thgre was a case where it was frowned upon by the panel. Possibly some sort of affiliate or other similar issue was involved but i can't remember.
