No, that hasn't happened because the person didn't know about it.

Personally I dislike a policy that requires someone to know innards of 
RIPE NCC in order to get reasonable treatment. As far as I can tell, the 
hostmaster in question didn't offer these alternatives. The only 
alternatives were "produce documents on original companys letterhead 
authorizing the transfer" and when the response was that it can't be done 
(with a reasonable explanation), the only path forward was said to be 
reclamation of the resource or to become LIR himself. No talk about 
escalation path or "arbitration panel".

How are "normal" people going to know about this?
