Consumer Code

[Red2000]

Here's an interesting Sir Humphreyism...

 

According to their website, "The Consumer Code for Home Builders (“the Code”), which came into effect in April 2010, applies to all Home Builders registered with the UK’s main new Home Warranty Bodies: NHBC; Premier Guarantee; LABC Warranty and Checkmate and consists of 19 Requirements and principles that Home Builders must meet in their marketing and selling of Homes and their after-sales customer service."

 

Interesting to see that their 'Consumer Code for Home Builders' (here) doesn't apply to consumers building their own home, even when they are registered with the LABC or similar organisation.  Only a truly committed bureaucrat could come up with a title for a publication which is so perfectly self-contradictory.  As Sir Humphrey said, "...dispose of the difficult bit in the title; it does less harm there than in the text."

Redrafted using almost the same text: 

 

The Consumer Code for Home Builders (“the Code”), which came into effect in April 2010, applies to all Home Builders registered with the UK’s main new Home Warranty Bodies. They are NHBC; Premier Guarantee; LABC Warranty and Checkmate .

Those companies subscribe to the  19 Requirements and principles that Home Builders must meet in their marketing and selling of Homes and their after-sales customer service.

 

Not Sir Humphrey.  More the effect of illiteracy, and simple carelessness.
