Default Wiring in kitchen

We have just fitted a new kitchen in my son's house and just to be on
the safe side re Part P, my son got a certified lecky in to do one or
two jobs like putting in a connection for the new elec oven and moving
sockets etc. When re-locating sockets, he has run the cables directly
from the old position to the new position, so the cables do not run
either vertically or horizontally or a combination of both.
In one situation where the cable run is behind a cupboard he has left
it exposed and clipped on the surface, but then sunk it into the
plaster (no conduit) when it emerges above the worktop IYSWIM.
In the other situation where the old/new postions are on a bare wall
he has sunk it into the plaster in plastic conduit. When my son
questioned if the cable should have been run vertically then
horizontally to the new postion, he said it wasn't necessary and
that's why he had run it in conduit.
Is this correct, and if not what do we do now? Ignore it and pay him
the money? Ask him to come back and do it again (don't hold your
breath!)?
He has not left any kind of a certificate yet - presumably this will
come with the invoice or more likely with the receipt for the money!
TIA

Tell him to **** off, do not pay him until he puts it right. Any cable not
run vertically or horizontally has to be protected by earthed heavy duty
steel conduit.
