It was a paperwork issue resulting in 247 very p*ssed off passengers.
This was nothing to do with the crew, I believe they received a ACARS message to return to base when they were nearing the Canadian coast.

That would likely qualify for tea and no biscuits

And the return flight pax and crew disruptions, a costly affair.

One wonders whether they should've continued and paid the fine? Anyone know roughly how much it would've been?

9 hours? That's nothing! Early hours of a night shift and we had a B747-400 return to base after 13 hours in the sky, they had suffered an electrical failure that meant they hadn't had use of any toilets for 6 hours! The crew had a good sense of humour, especially when I asked if they needed anywhere to dump :}
