Levying execution against a domain name
The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a district court ruling in which a creditor of John Zuccarini successfully levied execution against a domain name held in Mr Zuccarini's name.
Mr Zuccarini, sometimes known as Cupcake Patrol and other "colourful" noms de plume, may be familiar to those of you around in the "old" days of the UDRP from the frequency in which he appeared as a respondent.
Venkat, in a guest post on Professor Goldman's Technology and Marketing blog, highlights, the Ninth Circuit's ruling permitted execution on the basis of the location of the domain name registrar. So, if your client has registered his/her/its domain name through a US registrar, the domain name could be at risk if your client becomes embroiled in a dispute with someone who has access to the US legal system.
