I thought I would post an update as I think it is relevant to a lot of people here. I won my court case against Alpha, and had then also won a judgement against them forcing them to pay (I assumed the chance of them paying was actually 100%).
My claim was for 30% of the smaller Viper, which was £405. Out of the blue on Friday I had an email saying I had been refunded in full including the court fees, again slightly skeptical as it said it would take upto 5 working days.
Today, boom there is my full refund in my bank account including court fees!
Some reason I think they might have paid:
1) It was only £405
2) I focused my entire court claim on power usage and how it was now 6 times more, nothing about delivery dates as technically the TOS did mention end of Q3 (although this is obviously going to be missed)
3) I live 10 miles from Manchester, so if they did challenge my court case I would have been more than willing to go to the local court in Manchester (smalls claims are handled near to the defendant)
To be honest I've taken my refund and bought more shares in
