Bit rusty on regs.

[malcolmsanford]

Gavin the Regs are not statutory as such, not like the EAWR-1998 or the ESQCR-2202 which are law.

They are a British Standard and as such can be used in a legal argument.

The NICEIC years ago was a great body IMHO, but I agree I think after they gave up their charity status, and became a business, there doctrine changed, and not for the better IMO

Though they are much maligned, I still think the JIB does more to uphold standards than all these "schemes" put together, and they are far from perfect

It does mean that at least they should be aware of the regs and good workmanship.
That makes it even worse that they have deliberately ignored the guidance .

Well that's nonsense, because when you can gain accreditation off the back of a 5 week course, you're not gonna be aware of that.

Well it seems that the grey matter is not as faulty as some would suggest.
NICEIC have confirmed in writing (by email) that I was right and its naughty.
Contractors supervisor has been and corrected the work.
And all the other 'issues' are getting fixed too

Thanks to all those who gave help and advice.
