I'm actually not sure who challenged it, but the case can be found here:

There was no readily available 'Facts' section and to be honest I can't be bothered to root through this huge decision looking for it. It looks like the judge didn't even find that the .05-.079 laws even engaged s.8 at all, which is surprising. I bet this gets appealed.
