I am aware that as part of that ruling 12 month contracts must also be offered, but I can't find anything to say that's the only thing that is actually legal

At the basic level contracts of any length can be legal and valid. Contracts of over 24 months in the communications industry tend to be unfair (Unfair terms in contracts legislation) and detrimental to consumer interests, but not necessarily so.
B2B mobile and fixed line contracts frequently still operate on 24 or 36-month minimum terms. If >24 month MT contracts weren't legal, BT and VM wouldn't be operating some of their most lucrative business on them.
