Don't think UEFA have given up. Just suspended action pending removal of a certain Spanish judge.

However, for now, this is about positioning because the whole issue will be subject to a decision by the European Court of Justice on 18 October over whether they should rule over Uefa's ability to take action against clubs for setting up a rival competition.
They could throw the whole thing out and say it has been established Uefa do have the power. Or they could take it on, setting in motion a process which could take months or possibly years to resolve. Equally, the ECJ could decide it is not in their remit to rule on the situation - which is thought to be unlikely but not completely out of the question.
By complying with the Madrid court - even though they don't feel there is a good reason for what has been demanded - Uefa feel it puts them in a more secure position to argue their case if the ECJ decides it is not one for them.
