NB: if the Spamhaus operations are in Europe, ARIN has no say in
the assignment of IP addresses - that job belongs to the
RIPE-NCC in Amsterdam.  between Spamhaus being in the UK
and RIPE being in the NL, the transnational jurisdiction
matter of requiring an NL-based orgnization recognized
in its official role by the EC to enforce a ruling against
a UK organization will be decidedly non-trivial.
