English Courts Deny Kentucky Jurisdiction in Online Gambling CaseNO Deposit bonus $43

Even while the Kentucky online gambling domain case sits before the state Supreme Court, the English High Court has ruled that Kentucky's seizure order, if upheld, still carries no weight within the UK.

The Kentucky Supreme Court remains to be deliberating the merits of the state's case concerning its attempted seizure of 141 online gambling sites' domain names, but another court has already released a ruling. The English High Court selected October 16th that domain name registrar Safenames and its client, online poker operator Pocket Kings, aren't prone to any Kentucky verdict.

Judge Michael Furness found that English law prohibits a foreign government from enforcing a law that may be governmental or penal by nature in areas of English jurisdiction. The court also ruled that its decision was by nature pre-emptive, to permit the continued of operations by Pocket Kings, by which the net gambling domain name plays a central part.

This judgment establishes that, even supposing the unlikely event occurs that the Kentucky justices rule with the state, the enforceability of the order could rather well end at US borders. Foreign registrars can be within legally established rights to disregard a seizure without jurisdiction, and online gambling sites can't be held accountable to a seizure order on this case.

"We are glad to have provided assistance within the clarification and backbone of the order’s unenforceability within the Uk and effective nullification of the Kentucky Court Order," says a press release released by Safenames.

The UK verdict is in step with legal opinions from around the US and across the world, that have assailed the Kentucky forfeiture case for ignoring the logical precedent, that any jurisdiction can shut down a world Internet business for being available online in that locality. Online gambling industry reps have allied with libertarians and Internet freedom groups to protest the Kentucky action.
