It also sets a worrying precedent as this ruling shows that promises and undertakings are worthless as they can later be overturned by the courts.

Who 'we'?It also sets a worrying precedent as this ruling shows that promises and undertakings are worthless as they can later be overturned by the courts. The courts interpret the law, they do not make policy.I would suggest that those who make the promises and undertakings make sure that what they are stating is compliant with the law in the first place.
