b) Understood the required components but then failed to ensure they would meet the required conditions to allow stay.
Perhaps if they flew a Union flag over their house it might help their odds
Oh well, hope they enjoy the weather back in Blighty

Yep, UK immigrants to Spain could apply for residency going forwards if they were residents before 1st January. The same applies for EU born citizens on the UK.
To be resident while still under EU Freedom of Movement rules, they needed to register with the Spanish Government (getting a NIE card) Failure to register meant that they were not resident in the formal sense so they fall under the 90 days in every 180 rules and time's up now
