from the expression behind your back Explanation: I think they could have used a better expression. It's not wrong per se (what is wrong is the your clear judgment reached, it should read the clear judgement you reached). What they mean that they are not trying to suvert the ruling/judgement, but I think it is a bit of a poor choice of phrase (something along the lines of 'without in any way attempting to subvert the clear judgement you reached,..' would be better) |

To call into question Explanation: I think that this is a slightly devious bit of phrasing intended to (gently) question a judgement, while claiming not to be doing any such thing. Regarding the language, it does seem somewhat archaic. It is probably perfectly OK if it dates from the mid-19th century or earlier. |
