Sorry, but who won the case? That could reference either side.
The company who sell the plates won.

I expect Dubmeister make pressed plates which meet the legal requirements prior to 1st September 2001 but that doesn't mean it's legal to fit them if your vehicle.
My understanding is:
If registered on or after 1st September 2001, you can't use any pressed plates as they don't meet BS AU 145d. They fail as it's not a retroreflecting material and they aren't resistant to bending.
If registered before 1st September 2001, it's legal to have them fitted but if the plates were made after 1st September 2001 they are still illegal to fit - not sure how provable the fitting date is.

Hello Thank you for the reply But take a look at this company http://whttp://www.autostyle-plates.com/ww.autostyle-plates.com/
DVLA registered and fully compliant to BSAU145d these plates also meet the retro reflective standard as they re accompanied with the DIN certificate and the resistance to bending pretty sure this only applies to plastic plates as the DVLA have said there is nothing in the British standard which excludes raised lettering and metal plates. Therefore resistance to bending is not relevant anyway. Also the The British Number Plate Manufacturers Association https://www.bnma.org/faqs.html If you read the last paragraph it says there is no particular material. To encourage innovation in the industry and how it can be made from either plastic or metal.

Hello yes I have a letter from the company confirming that they are registered with the DVLA and they are made to the correct font and have the DIN certificate to confirm the retro-reflectiveness. They just mentioned to me that there was a court case with dubmeister which was won on metal pressed plates I am just trying to find it and dunno if anyone has seen it before or can help on where to find it. But yes I agree with you I can seem to to the issue with them.
