Several members of the public when queried about the content of Mr Finchams hand readings reported that he utilised the methods and language of gypsy palmistry than Cheirology. Test readings upon deliberately anonymous Society members especially recruited for such a task confirmed this report. In addition and whilst it is not usually the Society's concern as to what members do in their personal lives etc members had reported that Mr Fincham of Norwich (Norfolk) regularly boasts of writing pornographic literature subsequently sold under assumed names in London and elsewhere.

Such conduct was found to be in line with reports of his repeated personal and libellous public criticisms of other practicing members. After it was pointed out that his main teacher was the infamous C.Jones of Oxford it was felt by the Council that such conduct by a member could only bring the Society into ill repute and his conduct and demeanour was such that the Society did not wished to be associated with him in any manner.

His membership was subsequently and indefinitely suspended from 1998 onwards.
Under sub regulation 1 he was banned from representing, practicing or teaching any form of Cheirology to the general public or using the name or literature of the Society in any promotional manner.
