UKBA don't make unilateral rules of freedom of movement, CSI of anything over 3 months will suffice, it may also help if you demonstrate that you had the necessary funds whilst staying in France.
The court have spoken, self sufficient citizens can enjoy the right to return as everyone else, UKBA does not have a choice other than give effect to the judgment.
Get your paperworks intact, if you want to apply for FP from France do so, you may be refused and have to appeal, if I were in your position, I'd get myself and family to Ireland and use the CTA, submit application for residence card and await there response. Again you have the same right to return here just as any worker or self employed person does.
