Should my Porsche be fixed under warranty?

My 2010 Porsche Cayman S will be three years old in several days time and so earlier this week I had JCT600 in Newcastle carry out an 'end of warranty check' and give it an MOT. While it was in the garage I asked them to inspect the foot brakes as when on an incline the calipers did not release for at least 2 - 3 seconds after I had taken my foot off the brake pedal.

JCT600 did not investigate the specific problem but simply stated that they had carried out a brake efficiency test and that everything was OK - should I return the vehicle to JCT and insist that they rectify?

This is probably caused by a build up of brake dust on the calliper pins, and cleaning them up would be a service item at cost to you rather than a warranty item. Simply giving them a blast with an air hose might get some of the muck off.
