I am confused: did you get an order from a court or not? If you did then the argument from the MoD must surely be with the judge or magistrates who allegedly made an incorrect and/or illegal judgement. It is one of the many duties of the court to ensure proper procedure.
I am also confused about the reference to a contract; there are specific parts of the Employment Rights Act 1996 that are relevant to members of HM Forces. See

It suggest that you DO have a contract, of sorts. Specifically:
For the purposes of the application of provisions of this Act in relation to Crown employment in accordance with subsection (1)—
(a) references to an employee or a worker shall be construed as references to a person in Crown employment,
(b) references to a contract of employment, or a worker’s contract, shall be construed as references to the terms of employment of a person in Crown employment,
Should we all assume that you now have a 1021 to hang on you toilet wall?
I feel a hint of black Omega lurking behind your most recent post.
