California

I hereby certify that I am satisfied that Nominet has sent the complaint to the Respondent in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 4 of the Procedure.
x Yes No
The Complainant has, to my reasonable satisfaction, shown Rights in respect of a name or mark which is similar to the Domain Name.
x Yes No
The Complainant has, to my reasonable satisfaction, shown that the Domain Name yahooo.co.uk is an Abusive Registration
x Yes No
I am satisfied that no other factors apply which would make a summary decision unconscionable in all the circumstances
x Yes No
The Domain Name, yahooo.co.uk, to be transferred to the Complainant.
With reference to paragraph 3 above, the notification of the complaint sent to the Respondent's registered postal address was returned to Nominet as "unclaimed". The notifications sent to the Respondent's e-mail addresses were also returned as "undelivered". The Expert has not considered these circumstances to be sufficient reason to dismiss the complaint since:
(a) it is the Respondent's responsibility to keep his contact details current;
(b) the Domain Name was recently transferred to the Respondent (around July 2008) following the Complainant's initial contact with the original registrant, and the original registrant has transferred domain names in similar circumstances in previous complaints under the DRS.
Signed …………………….. Dated 26th November 2008
