They are not liable for damages for failure to send an email notice. ICANN provides ways of correcting domain thefts, and registrars typically indemnify themselves against consequential damages with their service agreements. I think a suit would only be successful if the registrar were negligent in allowing the hijack, and then exhibited continued willful negligence and obstruction in resolving the problem, as happened with Kremen's successful suit against Network Solutions regarding sex.com.
