Hi Alex,

>Your client hasn't got a leg to stand on - sorry. The domain is legally
registered to this other individual not them. The 'owner/registrant'
field is the determining factor for ownership

Sorry I should have been clearer there - what I meant was 'as far as the
Registry/Reseller is concerned'. I'm sure the courts would have a
different view after viewing the evidence, and I misused the word
'legally' there :). 

The point I was trying to make, badly - was that resellers/Registries
take the owner/registrant field very seriously. You can't change owner
details on a domain unless you have a court order as the risk of future
litigation is just too great. 

Luckily people seem to be catching on to how important correct
registration is these days. I'm always amazed at the casual way people
treat the domain ownership and control - when that is the base for their
entire business. 

We had to change name servers last month, you wouldn't believe how many
people had lost their domain details/didn't know where it was registered
or told us their web designer had 'dealt with all that' - ah sorry he
seems to have gone out of business. Ho hum.
