This is some very scummy behaviour.

I struggle to see how the Supreme Court judges ruled that one way in such a fairly concrete manner and it be entirely at odds with the original court verdict. A nuance on technicalities I can get, but reading the judgement seems to make that a fairly easy one for the SC judges to call. You didn't put an end date in that agreement, so you don't get to unilaterally try and end it when it was originally offered for relatively important life changes. If it aint time bound then it aint time bound.

I'll leave it to the Supreme Court to know law better than I do

I suppose every successful appeal means a judge got it wrong.

And supreme court judgements mean an appeal court got it wrong


Ok I suppose that should exclude new evidence issues.


But that appeal judge seems to have made quite a basic error - I wonder if their boss will be wanting to see them in their office on Monday?
