GMES, You did say if I end up in court the judge wouldn't take my word for it without a MWC.
I did say I didn't issue a MWC cert for replacing a light fitting or socket as well as a light switch, and there are other items I regularly replace 'like for like' that I don't issue MWCs for and I won't ever do so unless it becomes a requirement. I do a loop test and RCD test and the results are on their invoice, so I am more than happy with that (that's probably more than most sparks do).
A house owner can legally replace switches, light fittings and sockets without any experience, qualifications or being registered, and as far as I know they don't have to issue themselves a MWC.
