The Member and Holder faced disciplinary proceedings for professional misconduct related to the preparation and submission of deficient Records of Site Condition (RSCs) to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change.
The Member, who lacked specialized training in environmental matters, repeatedly submitted RSCs with significant errors, omissions, and falsified documents, leading to a prior conviction under the Environmental Protection Act.
The Discipline Committee accepted an Agreed Statement of Facts and a Joint Submission on Penalty, finding the Member and Holder guilty of professional misconduct.
The penalty included a reprimand, a four-month suspension, and a permanent restriction prohibiting them from providing environmental engineering services.
