How can you hold someone liable for following the law as written/interpreted at the time? And Gregory, I think you hit the nail on the head there.

Blatt et. al. are facing penalties. The article didn’t mention other cases that may be affected. It would have been cleaner to reverse their earlier decision and allow Blatt to re-file.
