ok so maybe a little general knowledge helps...
This looks to me like a copy and paste from the a USA legal team to the UK... why ?
the USA courts routinely ask for backups from ANYWHERE in the world and even when they are encrypted they appear to use standard tools to decrypt
when you consider the number of American FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) requests to APPLE number over 500 and cover over 77,000 USERS
this starts to look a little silly and if I was to guess the legal team at Apple pushed back knowing that if they did not the rest of the world would all start this...
the USA agencies routinely takes requests and executes on them but "extracts its pound..." for doing so... the the UK pushed using their own laws and got given the run around...
have fun...
