So doesn't that tell us something? EAWR needs revisiting to include false reporting, that or that specific regulation regarding systems of work needs expanding to include reporting etcEasier to get a guaranteed conviction under CPR rather than EAWR.
I think it's more to do with the work he was contracted to do. If there'd been a fatality due to poor reporting then EAWR would have come into play but he didn't complete the work he was contracted to do hence the CPR.So doesn't that tell us something?

That struck me as well. If he's charging the sort of fees that some other criminals are anecdotally charging for EICRs, then it's not going to take long to recoup his costs.I think the judgement could have a bit more punitive as a discouragement to others ...
Stroma no longer exists with regards CPS.That struck me as well. If he's charging the sort of fees that some other criminals are anecdotally charging for EICRs, then it's not going to take long to recoup his costs.
It mentions that he was a member of STROMA at the time, implying that he isn't now - so presumably he's just joined a different scam.
It may not but it's now set a precedent in law that may be able to be taken advantage of by consumers duped by drive-by EICRs, assuming other TS of tht Various council's get on board with it now thry can see it has brought prosecution.Stroma no longer exists with regards CPS.
This is a good story and a step in the right direction, but I don't think this one off prosecution will deter any of the people carrying out Dodgy EICR's. Perhaps if it gains more coverage on TV and there are a number of high profile prosecutions. Unfortunately, it may even take someone to be injured or worse following a dodgy EICR, otherwise I can't see much changing in the near future.
