It may well be that the recently launched case against Northamptonshire Council for failing in its library duty is successful in the Courts. It certainly sounds as if the library cuts were examined, rejected and then reintroduced simply to meet the budget emergency. It certainly does not sound as if they have gone through the kind of careful and thorough assessment of need that Brent did in implementing the Libraries Transformation Project.
The problem is more one of the real world. If Northants now loses, it just doesn't have the money any more. The litigants can win technically, but the entire organisation is about to be abolished.
