They stipulate the card cannot be used for fares below £12 between 04:00 and 10:00, Monday to Friday.

The rule does not apply in July and August, when Mr Williamson used his railcard on several similar journeys without falling foul of the rules.

This is pretty confusing to be fair - I wouldn't expect a rule about train tickets that applies during some months and not others. We're used to conditions about time of day and day of week, but month is a new one for me.

Even the daytime conditions that make the tickets go from £25 to £30 like peak travel times are fucking bullshit when Germany has a daytime £10 pass that includes all busses, trains, Poland and probably a trip to the ISS for good measure.
