[INDENT]....but ..who and why would anybody challange
[/INDENT]
not sure why you find it so hard to see who would challenge it. Any client with a preferred non-RO contractor, be it for reasons of price, previous working relationship, availability etc might object to being told they couldn't use them. The non-RO themselves might want to do it, particulalrly if it was a good/big job and they knew they would get the work but for this ruling. A few cheap letters threatening and then initiating legal action would soon see the council abandon its curators and roll over.
