(8) The matters that may be counted as unacceptable professional conduct include (in particular) any act or omission by V during the course of the provision by V of services as a chiropractor in the United Kingdom on a temporary and occasional basis that is, or would be if the condition applied in relation to practice as a chiropractor outside State A, a breach of the condition.
