Bodgit and Run IT services have gone into liquidation. the receivers are refusing to give ownership back of the domain name as it they claim it to be an asset of Bodig and Run IT Services.
Anyone no where my client stand on this?

As you rightly mentioned, the domain name is an asset of the company, and as such will not just be handed back, there are a few exceptions, i.e. if the creditors believe it'll generate income to pay off the companies debts etc. Don't expect Nominet to help you in any way, it's not a dispute, the company simply no longer has a legal right to the name, I (unfortunately) worked for 2 companies that lost their domain names in this way, I still have no idea what the bank did with them, probably sold them off to offset the debt the company incurred.
