Below is a quote from the solicitors who brought the case. I'm not sure on what basis the requirement is for solely NE to be satisfied is, but that would seem to be the crux of it.

Basic fact not being mentioned or accepted by NE and some on here are that none lethal methods simply do not work. Impossible for Crows / Magpies predating livestock and nests and Corvids and Pigeons on Crops take no notice of Kites and Gas Guns after a day or so. The people making the rules don't understand what they are talking about.
