Yesterday the block producers believed it is possible to help the account owners notwithstanding the lack of arbitration. Today some BP’s only wants to continue with the fix following an arbitration order. We refer to our earlier post regarding this issue.

We at EOS Amsterdam believe the top 21 block producers can help the victims. This can be based on “negotiorum gestio”.

Negotiorum gestio means that you are allowed to pull out someone else’s fire and get your costs, if any, rewarded and further that you are not liable for meddling in the other person’s affairs. I believe (at first sight) we could base a BP action on that principle. It is an ancient Roman principle that survived the millenia.

In this concrete case negotiorum gestio would be an elegant way out of the problems the alleged lack of agreement and lack of arbitration causes.

Further, a sidestep, not doing anything and let the phishing site cash in on their scam in full sight while totally being able to prevent that easily, might lead to liability also. In my jurisdiction that is.
