Why would you say that Seun – it is what the lawyers for ICANN argued, but there is no evidence that the Canadian court agree to that submission. I would expect ICANN’s lawyers to make that argument and I would also expect based on what little I know of Canadian law that in the end the court would have rejected the argument.

Thanks a lot for sharing this Mathieu, I guess this removes any claims that the experience would be the same if ICANN were sued outside of her jurisdiction of incorporation. The following text makes that quite clear:
"Defendant ICANN asserted that the Court lacked jurisdiction because (quoting the argument):
ICANN is not resident in Ontario
The Action has no real or substantial connection to Ontario
Virtually all the evidence and witnesses are in California"
I am not a lawyer but perhaps it may be good to know how flexible it is for non-US customer of ICANN to legally engage/challenge ICANN in her place of incorporation. The impact of this on US-banned countries may also be a good to know.
Regards

Dear Colleagues,
Here is another summary form for the Pool.com vs ICANN case. It’s an interesting case because it was the only one documented as submitted in front of a non-US court. However it was settled before it reached the decision stage.
Best,
