If it's being boxed in, and that's your reasoning for not needing to provide strain relief, then presumably it will be inaccessible and therefore should be MF?
But if it is accessible then it surely needs better strain relief than nail clips into plasterboard?

She has carried out a repair which is miles better than how it started. Marked up and tested the system.

Let's not get overly picky cause there is minus a few p clips and firmer fixings!!

There's people on this thread complaining about a few bits of insulation left in a loft next to a joint box, yet I am being overly picky for pointing out things which do not comply with the regulations?

Yes that would be me, but no point in quoting things out of context Dave, that wasn't a complaint but more of an observation, a little example of a lack of being thorough which I tend to see quite often,nothing more. Do you leave discarded insulation in loft spaces , maybe you do because nothing in BS7671 forbids it ? I'm just saying that there's a lot more to being a really good electrician than merely complying with the regs, and the way you interact with people and treat them can go a long way.

I've accidentally left all sorts of things in lofts and similar voids, but no I don't intentionally leave rubbish laying around.

Yes there is more to the job than complying with regulations, but there certainly is not less than complying with the regulations.

Really Dave.
Do you seriously think a missing strain relief would end up in court.
Or are we just being pedantic.
Either way, theres enough photographic evidence to show its been left in a safe state.

On a lighter note,
its sunny and bbq time.

I didn't say that a missing strain relief would end up in court, though I have witnessed an incident where inadequate strain relief led to a potentially lethal situation when the socket came off of a 125A TP extension lead.

I believe what I said was that i'd like to see how well the attitude of 'I left it in a safer state than when I arrived' would stand up in court if that 'safer state' was not compliant with current regulations.

.
Anyone would half a brain would say.
i found it in a dangerous state and made it much safer, here are some pictures to support my statement.
im guessing you have never been in an english court.
A judge would look very favourable if you can demonstrate you made things infinatly safer than you found it. ie connected the earths.
