Remember, this is one judges interpretation of the law. Another may throw the case out. Probably pot luck but the law still remains unclear as to whether or not you are legally obliged to sign the form (and it be usable in a court of law).

furthermore, paying £8k to fight with such a high chance of losing is not a viable option for many.
The judges rejected his appeal, saying they will give their reasons later.

... according to one report I read (pre trial admittedly) the chap stated that if he lost he would take to the European Court of Human Rights. Of course, whether he does or not is an entirely different question.
I believe I am right in saying that this was brought very much as a test case, and as such he may well have had some help with the funding of his case. Apparently, the guy is a retired company director with "...a collection of cars..." so he can probably afford it anyway

this is what annoys me. why cant they give their reasons now (answer: because they need time to think of something!)

Whilst many disagree with the number and siting of speed cameras, those who were pinning their hopes on some minor legal loophole were just grasping at straws. Better to tackle the issue head (number and siting) on rather than try and find some devious way of avoiding the consequences after the event

it's almost akin to being told after your house is burgled that if you can't identify who did it, you'll be done for it as it's your house.
