Just because someone is authorised to take 'Administrative Action' on behalf of the CAA does not mean that they are mandated to do it if they don't want to.
Actually the FCL. 945 is not an "authorisation", it is an "obligation". We are mandated to do it!
Personally, I will not sign the log book if I don't think they are safe. No log book signature, no revalidation. Let them appeal or sue if they want to.
