Lower pass mark applies only to cases still pending (those prior to
selection decision) and new applications.
Lawsuits don't apply to you as you clearly applied (regardless warnings not
to do so without knowing the rules) after December 2001, thus as per IRPA
your application was processed properly under new law. Information about the
deadline was posted on CIC website and in all visa posts since early
November 2001, so you cannot claim ignorance (such was never an excuse
anyway).
It is brutal, it is not fair, but this is what it is and unless government
or Parliament will come up with another solution your only option is to
re-apply.
