It seems spiceboy's case was relatively cut-n-dry so to say. ICANN should have sided with spiceboy in any case.
I present a more difficult scenario;
I have a friend (seriously, it's not me) who is involved in a bitter dispute with a copy-cat manufacturer.
US courts sided with my friend, and US ISP shut down the competitor's site after a C&D letter was sent.
Competitor moved the site to an overseas ISP.
So the question is, does my friend go after overseas ISP with US court order (which seems would hold not too much weight), or go directly to ICANN.
Problem is that the names of my friend's and their competitor's site are similar yet not obviously so.
The problem lies more with the fact that products sold through this competitor are direct rip-offs of my friend's.
