They probably wouldn't even need to go to court, the threat of court action (either by the archaeological contractor or the developer) would probably be enough to make the Council reconsider whether they really REALLY REALLY trusted the IfA's opinion on the legality of the practice. It's all very well the IfA providing this opinion, but at the end of the day, it wouldn't be them applying it in the real world or having to defend it in court, and so it wouldn't be their necks on the line if it proves to be unsupportable.
You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum
