That’s a very intricate and convoluted way of saying they have no basis for making a demand.

But sounds like we agree, they have no real basis for making a demand.

Poorly explained maybe but it covers not just that there is no basis but that no basis is needed and draws attention to the odd request for a basis where none is needed.

Just "there is no basis" as a response would be like saying "yes" or "no" to "have you stopped beating your wife?"
