They still technically (at least nominally) seemed to have an agent for service 
in London, who was served in October, 2019;  Spamhaus didn't dissolve  that 
particular UK entity until March of 2020 (see 
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05303831), five months after they 
were (ostensibly) served in London.  Also, SpamhausTech still lists its address 
as being in London - so under the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil (i.e. 
a court may find that they can't claim they don't exist in the UK if they have 
an affiliated entity that does) they can/could have/may be able to enforce 
against them:  https://www.spamhaustech.com/privacy-policy/

Of course, this is all basically mooted by the fact that the final judgement 
was only for $1 as DBUSA never submitted a damages accounting, and they are in 
Chapter 11, so it seems highly unlikely that they are going to spend money to 
pursue this on the off chance that they might pervail.
