   If they issued them by mistake, in breach of their published policy,   
   then they will have no difficulty cancelling them.  The only possible   
   grounds for court action would be if the recipients had used them a long   
   time and come to rely on them, and Ofcom  had failed to correct the   
   error in reasonable time.    And it would be horrifyingly expensive.  So   
   I doubt if anyone would bother.
