Umm, no. Not if he signed a contract that clearly spelled out his obligations and the
termination date of his license. No basis for a lawsuit.

By the way, the same argument applies to any second-level domain. SLD registrants get the
domain for a period of time specified in the contract, and under the terms and conditions
specified in the contract. It doesn't matter whether the org is profit or non-profit. This
whole thing is a non-issue.
