guys you dont understand,
the problem is that the victim was hosted in the attacker's hosting company server and used his domain registration service which was a tucows reseller. so when the attacker just changed the registrant info and shifted the domain to his a/c then the tucows staff claimed that it was a legal transfer as they attacker had pushed the domain when he knew victim's password and how to transfer domain legally.
now the thing is that even if the domain belonged to Maurice then still his registrar would be getting priority in this case of legal transfer, but though a civil suit can be filed against the registrar if you have evidence of site's visitors and also you can check past domain owner's whois info from domaintools.com. best of luck!
but take it as a lesson that never register your domain with your hosting company, it can land your domain into trouble.
