Without knowing the specifics of these events, my opinion is simply this: If SpyProductions
filled in applications without the clients' approval and/or knowledge then legal
recourse may succeed. In other words, if the registrar overstep the client's authorisation
for the use of the client's funds, then this may result in a successful action.
Issues
to be resolved would include:
* Did the clients intially apply for Sunrise or
just Landrush?
* exactly how well informed of SP's actions were the clients?
*
were clients misinformed through negligent information acquisition and/or dissemination
by SP?
* were clients given the opportunity to 'pull out' if they didn't want
to be included in Sunrise?
* was there 'implied consent' - did the registrant
give SP authority to 'act on its behalf' to do whatever it took to get the name they
applied for?
