In January 2013, [[Nominet]] filed a Defamation suit against the owner of the domains "that.co.uk" and "avoid.co.uk", which not only act as Nominet complaint sites but openly and directly attack its CEO, [[Lesley Cowley]], with the goal of having her replaced. Nominet filed the suit noting that it was against harassment and victimization of its staff.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/11661-nominet-sues-domainer-gripe-site-for-defamation Nominet Sues Domainer Gripe Site for Defamation] Published & Retrieved 23 Jan 2013</ref>
