It says "Respondent has altered its use of the DomainName, namely registered subdomains that mimic the Complainant’s trade mark orappear to have been created for fraudulent purposes"
It's not just talking about having a sedo landing page and adverts is it?

How does one tell the difference between a "registered" sub-domain and a wildcard catch-all DNS setup?
I never set that test sub-domain up on my name, but that would be used as evidence.
The expert here is not so expert. He's/she's made assumptions that are almost certainly false.

batshtcrazy.manage.co.uk
Is this expert claiming the guy set up a sub-domain "batshtcrazy" ? Of course not, but it shows the same results as the imanage subdomian.
That's an appalling error from Nominet's expert.
The respondent didn't reply, so a summary is all there is. That's it, as much as there is going to be.
Straight to the lawyer then to save his name, or is there an appeals process?
It's dated the 21/01/25, so I think if they see this today then I believe the appeal deadline has already passed - I think it is two weeks to file a notice of appeal, but could be wrong. I believe Nominet still have it within their powers to overturn a DRS decision afterwards if it goes against justice or something - basically if the decision was so wrong, it needs to be put right. If the facts provided by the complainant turn out to be false - which could be argued in this case possible as the complainant may have alleged that the respondent had deliberately setup those sub-domains, that could be enough grounds.
It's going to be tricky though
I think these were the conditions I was thinking of, but it is in the Repeat Complaints Section so not 100% sure if would apply here.
21.3 A non-exhaustive list of examples which may be exceptional enough to justify a re-hearing under paragraph
21.2.3 include:
21.3.1 serious misconduct on the part of the Expert, a Party, witness or lawyer;
21.3.2 false evidence having been offered to the Expert;
21.3.3 the discovery of credible and material evidence which could not have been reasonably foreseen or known for the Complainant to have included it in the evidence in support of the earlier complaint;
21.3.4 a breach of natural justice; and
21.3.5 the avoidance of an unconscionable result.

Decisions like this are why you should just not use DRS, and insist on the complaint going directly to court, kangaroo court 
D00027170 - this one is a fun read, for whatever reason these two are arguing over an ugly domain, and their web designer ended up in prison, something you'd see on EastEnders
