No handbags but I think Westwards needs to bear in mind that the type of code he is suggesting may result in a needless DB change just to gain ways.....

Wrist slapped, I was quoting from the top of my head which is generally empty.You must be on a wind up quoting reg numbers from the 16th
Don't recall suggesting it complied with BS7671 nor is it a personal view. I read Reg 314.4 that each final circuit should be given individual circuit protection that is it which I C3.Westward your argument has as much logic as the neutrals in switches argument. Some people just seem to stick their head in the sand and ignore facts.
You seem to admit that it complies with 7671 and yet insist on coding it!
You need to remember that coding can cost the occupier money, a lot of money. Unless you can justify a safety issue or a departure you CANT code.
Coding because of your personal views is simply unacceptable.

Final circuit, and yes I will still C3 it lawyers or no lawyers.

See "definitions".You can't just state 'final circuit' without giving a definition for it.
How do you define what constitutes a final circuit and, crucially to this debate,what does not constitute a single final circuit.
At the moment it appears that your definition includes a requirement that a final circuit must only have one conductor at the ocpd.
If there is a 1' piece of cable connected from the ocpd to a JB and then two cables leave that JB to each serve two sockets, is that one circuit or two?
Your latter statement is somewhat contradictory and why you keep harping on about definition of circuit whilst it is the Reg to which I debate I have no idea.I read the reg exactly the same, it is not that reg which is at debate, it is the definition of a circuit.
If the two cables were not both serving sockets, lets say one feeds sockets and the other a pillar drill, then I would be inclined to agree with you. But when both cables are serving sockets, and if there is no overload as a result of the number of sockets, then I see nothing to comment on.
See "definitions".
How would you code an RFC which also has a spur fed from the same MCB, ie. at the consumer unit? Refer to on-site guide and and Appendix 15 regs before answering.
The answer is: nothing wrong with it - it's one circuit.
