Domain registrar quits under court action
October 20, 2003
A UK domain registrar has quit the business after court action was brought against it for cold-calling customers and pretending to be associated with Nominet, the body that governs the .co.uk domain.
Domain Registrar Services Ltd and its sister company UK Names closed down as part of a settlement with Nominet. A case brought by Nominet had been scheduled to be heard in the High Court next week, but in the settlement, the defendants agreed to pay Nominet £40,000 in costs, stop passing themselves off as Nominet, and to provide Nominet with a list of all those approached by either company. An interim injunction against the defendants was awarded by the High Court last November.
