Satoshi's last forum post was Dec 2010, I believe.
Satoshi continue to communicate with developers in private for some time after.
In April 2011 Satoshi emailed Gavin (and in part criticizing him for failing to credit other contributors work on Bitcoin). Gavin replied that he would be visiting the CIA. Satoshi never emailed anyone else again. (unless you want to believe the messages from years later after the accounts were known to be compromised were satoshi)
edit: If they never accept the payment, then the default judgement should be appealed.
They don't actually care about this judgement, they want Cobra's identity so they can harass/threaten him and/or fabricate false evidence in an attempt to steal the domain. Last year they offered him $10 million dollars for it, unsolicited, as an opening offer and they seem to have been making it clear that no isn't an option.
So it's not too surprising that they are willing to endanger their ability to collect on this 'small' default judgement. Whats 35k UKP compared to what they're willing to pay to get that domain? It's a rounding error.
The challenge here is that the UK system seems to have no avenue for cobra to defend in these actions without doxing himself, which would expose him to worse attack. Fortunately, the UK's power of bitcoin.org is appears to be minimal.

This is true because GA publicly announced its intention here in the forum in late April 2011.
I want to get this out in the open because it is the kind of thing that will generate conspiracy theories: I'm going to give a presentation about Bitcoin at CIA headquarters in June at an emerging technologies conference for the US intelligence community.
From everything I’ve been able to read so far, GA had some of his own ideas and theories that he was constantly trying to impose, but given that Satoshi always had the last word, GA and some others started to be very critical and literally rebelled against Satoshi. I think the CIA was the thing that showed Satoshi what kind of people he was actually dealing with.
And I don’t think anything has changed to this day, Faketoshi has obviously turned to those who have been very critical of Satoshi in the past, and they are giving him support to accomplish his crazy intentions.
I dont have anything to add, you guys/gals are very knowledgable in the historical
events surrounding Satoshi, related topics like Bitcoin.org and various people.
While I find everything surrounding Faketoshi kindof stressful/annoying its also very fascinating.
