They were winning 20-40% of appeals, it doesn't say how often they won overall.
It's hard to say whether 20-40% of appeals is a good number in an absolute sense (percentage of successful appeals is a more useful number) but in this case, it's only to compare with the 50-80% figure that came after the change, and I'd think that is pretty significant.
