Think of maggie thatcher
Alive or dead ?
Is this before or after the pipe has been "treated" in a vice? 
Where is all this leading

Oh I don't know!! Maggie always gave me a raging hard on, mind you so did Tony Blair!!
The point is; it's gas FFS it got to stay in the pipe & you're the d.ckhead that signed it off as safe. A Judge in a court of law is always going to look apon it with a common sense view regardless of the f.cked up Regs.
I recall one old BG employee telling me, first rule on any job do a TT.

He hasnt signed the gas installation off as safe thats the whole point .
Powers higher than us richard have set down the standards that even a judge would have to adhere to .It basically asks you to inspect any exposed pipework

Sorry mate but that's just not the case, a Judge will view any competent person going into a property to be just that. Last man in.

The gas regs are a statuary document, for a judge to overturn what they say would have to re write the rules, so that won't happen.
On the flip side I know of a contracting company tht were successfully taken to court for cutting off a gas supply and billing for un warranted work in tracing a gas leak having carried out a tightness test when the regulations deemed it not to be required during an inspection.
Case settled out of court costing the contractor a fair wedge in compensation for the people having no heating/hot water.
Needless to say they no longer carry out a TT on a LLGSC unless instructed or the criteria is met which is smell of gas/visible damage.

Having read posts on here, I was under the impression that the first rule of any job was to sell a powerflush
Whilst any judge has to follow the laws, he still can still reach a judgement based on what duty of care the RGI should have provided.
Its with that in mind that I, and most others, will normally do a TT when we do an LSC.

Would that be to ensure that the pipes you've previously squeezed in a vice to make fit don't suffer any ill effect?
Or is it something to fill the time and make a customer feel like they've had value for money from your £84 bill?

I only charge £65 for an LSC which always includes a TT in my case.
It only takes minutes, enables me to fill in the form as done. Not filling that is likely to produce questions/discussions which would take longer talking about than doing the test.
It also enables me to know that the system is tested as safe on a TT.
