What? Quite a bizarre assertion. That would imply that every single MCOL action taken by numerous people would be invalid?
I've taken BA to court (a number of years ago) and they settled for the full amount before it got there. I personally know other people that have also done MCOL.
Ultimately the OP didn't get what he paid for. A refund would be quite reasonable and I doubt that any small claims court judge would say they don't have jurisdiction to hear the matter.
