I have to say that I don't think the legal position is 'right' (morally correct), although it is legally correct. Although the sites are not defendents, they are clearly third parties who will be materially affected by the orders, and should have the right to be represented at the hearing.
I don't think it would have made the slightest difference for any of these four sites, but there is a real slippery slope concern.
