Now what happens?

Ok, so I have to get this clear, from what I understand the following happened:

15th February: CASA and Barrier meet in Federal Court, CASA asks for a 28 day extension of the grounding and gets denied. CASA says they are not ready for Court, unable to present any solid evidence they get forced by the Court into supervised mediation with Barrier.

18th February to 21st February: CASA and Barrier meet in mediation. It seems that CASA had no intention to mediate and simply stalled, stonewalled, disrupted the whole process, delaying until time ran out.

22nd February - Federal Court basically throws out the whole case, the suspension is lifted/expires at 1700. CASA then proceeds to ignore the court and extend the suspension for another five day plus now finally threatens a Show Cause which would give them a further 28 day suspension.

If this is correct how can this be legal?
Do the Federal Courts decisions not cary any weight?
Will this now go to the AAT or stay in the Federal Court?
What would have to happen for there to be a Senate Inquiry into CASA's conduct and the process?

This just doesn't seem right!
Can anyone shed some light on how this is possible? (Serious Question)
