Now that is different to the line they have been spinning since the start of April when Emma-le-le-legal started trying to defend their position!!

Yes - I think that is a very significant change in tone. I've been reading BT public statements and emails for a few months now - and I think I am fairly well attuned to their style, and reading between the lines etc. and that is the first time I have seen anything quite like that - "
acted in good faith". That sounds like butt covering to me, but they'll need something a bit bigger and less "
transparent" to cover this up.
It sounds like the first move in a defensive rear-guard action. Up to now they have always said that they had legal advice and asserted their confidence. Now they are making what sounds like an excuse - practicing their plea in mitigation perhaps?
