> I can tell you I’ve seen legal orders transferring a domain from one registrant to another, if the order has the registry named to take action, the domain kind of just goes poof, sure it’s in your system but you can’t do anything against it.

Then maybe the original poster should demand such a legal order? I doubt there exists one now given it's only been a couple days.

In this context it was court orders, usually over an ownership dispute between corporations. The legal fees etc, make it unlikely to be worth the hassle.

Yeah I can totally see that. I guess in this case the OP could try to stand strong and refuse to go along without any sort of court order, but even in that case it's not like the OP can stop the registry from going through with the change. So really if the registry decides to do it anyway, then I guess the OP could try to pursue legal options. I guess maybe the domain would be worth it.
