But a court of law may find that they WERE required to delete these registrations!Because
to fail to might be judged to "obstruct" the legitimate financial interests of other
customers, and to allow a fraud to come to completion, which COULD have been prevented
if reasonable action on the part of Afilias (or ICANN) had been taken
It was reasonable
to expect Afilias to exercise their right to delete, because they had it in their
power to prevent the fraud perpetrated through their own systems and processes.
As
the presiding agency, it was Afilias - not the fraudulent applicant - who took the
final decision as to whether the fraud would go ahead to the loss of the Landrush
customers
