AuDA terminates Bottle Domains

On 23 July 2010, the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria dismissed Bottle Domains’ appeal in proceedings against auDA.

Pursuant to the decision, auDA has terminated the registrar accreditation of Australian Style Pty Ltd trading as Bottle Domains, for a serious breach of its obligations under the Registrar Agreement.

Approximately 8,900 domain names registered by Bottle Domains have been transferred to auDA, and the registrants of these names will be sent instructions on how to transfer to another auDA accredited registrar.
