Nominet Changes Dispute Resolution, But Not Price
Nominet has announced changes to its dispute resolution policies that will make it cheaper to win unopposed disputes but will not address the high cost of preparing cases reports Out-Law.com. The changes are the result of two consultations.
"In cases where there is no response, the complainant is given the
option of obtaining a summary decision from an Expert, at a cost of
£200," said a Nominet statement. The cost of a full judgment is £750.
"The expert will not be required to write a full decision with
reasoning in these cases, but only to certify that Rights and Abusive
Registration have been made out by the Complainant."The change is intended to deal with the 52% of cases which are not opposed.
