What proof, what right

[quote]Anyway, perhaps we should let the High Court decide, rather than taking your, or the BSI's, word for it? [/quote]

Actually the high court has nothing to decide as the ukuug has likely no standing and has not presented any case yet.
If they were a participant in the BSI committee they might have some standing on what BSI states on therecommendations made by the committee but of course ukuug has left the committee and is not involved in the recommendation.

Just stating that you do not agree does not make a court ruling on that issue. ukuug will have to show more than empty words for a court to rule on the issue in stead of dismisseing the case immediatly.

Why would BSI be required to confirm their stament that they have followed the recommendation.
There is no evidence of the contrary.

And even then the BSI can do with a recommendation what they want. This is why ukuug has no standing whatsoever. BSI is an independant standards organ that can vote what they want without having to answer to ukuug or do what is in the particular interest of ukuug.
