However, they did NOT lose the ability to keep the domain in-force. You don't need a valid admin email address to pay for a domain renewal.
If you have a complaint about a car you purchased from a dealer, you don't stop making payments on the loan unless you don't mind having the car repossesed and a bad credit rating. I'm not a lawyer, either, but I believe your client has waited way too long to seek legal advice.

Due to a dispute with their former hosting company, they essentially lost the ability to use the domain. The e-mail address for the admin contact was in that domain (i.e. disputed-domain.com with admin contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]) so the domain couldn't easily be transferred. My client registered an alternate name and began using that but there are several sites that still link to the old domain (including one of their own sites, until recently). Once my client discovered the current use of the domain they decided to do whatever necessary to get their old domain name back. We've contacted the current registrant, hosting company, and registrar and have basically got either no response or "there's nothing we can do."
