The only problem I have nower days is that every one has a smart arse lawyer who would have no hesitation in sueing us as last man in if ever anything whent wrong,
Sure enough, although as lawyers like to nit-pick over technicalities of law, they should realize that there was no legal obligation for the owner to follow BS7671 anyway.
But if we get into that, the new part P building regulations could open a can of worms anyway, as one section indicated compliance with electrical standards by following BS7671
or the wiring rules of other EEC countries. That would definitely given legal weight to the arguments that sockets in bathrooms are acceptable, as almost every other EU country allows them.
Have a look here for the discussion we had about the new Part P Regs.:
