auDA terminated Bottle Domains accreditation to sell .AU domains and Bottle Domains took legal proceedings in the Supreme Court today and won, which could see its reinstatement as early as tomorrow. auDA could have avoided the legal action taken by Bottle Domains, but they are now left with huge legal costs and possibility of paying damages.

Well done Bottle and Nick. This was always going to happen. auDA should have ensured that their actions were proportionate and minimised negative impacts to domain name holders. The chaos and confusion continues. I've said it before, how on earth is this situation a better outcome than auDA maintaining Bottle's accreditation whilst the matter is resolved between them? Bottle may or may not have breached their Accreditation Agreement, but by taking the action they did, auDA have precipitated an expensive legal battle with the domain name owners they sought to protect in the middle.

After terminating Bottle Domain's accreditation, auDA issued advice to Bottle Domain's customers to shift to another registrar which is going to cost auDA quite a lot in damages, and any .au domain holders. auDA will most likely have to increase prices to cope with the expenses.
