1) They basically said "we expect you to change your employment terms, hours of work and duration of work etc. Do you accept?" without communicating what would it entail, if there would be additional payments for extra work etc.
2) If the contract is not renegotiated it defaults to the previously agreed contract. One party cannot solely renegotiate it, as with any contract there must be 2 parties in agreement.
3) They gave 24 hours to respond or you automatically "resigned". This is a forced resignation, for it to be lawful it would need to have been tendered / given by the employee. It was also stated by the court that 24 hours notice is not enough time for any reasonable person to digest the information and give an informed response.
4) 3 days later he received an email stating they accepted his resignation but they would not engage with him or his legal advisors in those 3 days or after November 19th.

This sounds more like a culture change than anything else. He’s not saying your terms of employment will change, he’s vaguely saying you’ll have to work harder. Obviously the court decided it was unfair, but I think this could have gone either way.
