You might need in excess of GBP 50K to fight the battle in court.

The international doctors community in UK face a similar dilemma - retrospective implementation of change in immigration rules affecting doctors on Permit Free Training (PFT) visa that were announced in March/April 2006.

An organization (BAPIO) is now fighting the battle in court. They collected donations to the tune of GBP 50K through donations from the doctors' community. Reports say that they have hired a top-notch solicitor to fight the case on their behalf.

The court costs can very much differ depending on type of people involved and their spending capability. Ultimately we can find reasonably good lawyers ready to fight the case with in an agreeable fee. I am not very much aware of the complexities with the Doctors case. But i suppose our situation is more of an open and shut case, the only difference is Home Office playing a modern dictator here (e.g. Hitler or Idi Amin) without sticking to their initial promises.
