| BODOG Receive Obtain Good Ruling From Federal Judge in Nevada |
|
BODOG Entertainment Group, S.A., received good news when a federal magistrate judge ruled that the company will not be subject to examination in Nevada. The ruling came, in part, because BODOG was not a resident of Nevada. The infamous owner of the company, Calvin Ayre, is also not a resident, and therefore is also not subject to examination. The case had been brought on by a contempt motion filed by 1st Technology, LLC. The judge denied the motion because of Ayre not being a resident in Nevada. BODOG founder Ayre had this to say after the ruling, "This has been an interesting case, and as it progresses, there seems to be plenty of compelling facts emerging. With the recent ruling in favor of the defense, I'm happy that it was also clarified by the judge that I am, by law, not personally in contempt of any order from the Nevada court." A case in Washington is also ongoing in which defense lawyers are trying to get a ruling on whether domain names are property, and whether or not that they can be used to take care of a judgement. The outcome of the ruling is important and if it is decided that the domain names can be used to settle judgements, it might send companies to different states to register their names. |
