RICS reputation in Tatters again No Surprise there!!!!!
RICS President Justin Sullivan accused of not grasping detail or answering questions when giving evidence in Court
?
This just about sums up the RICS.? Justin Sullivan who has just taken over as President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors was accused of not having a grasp of the details and not answering questions properly when giving evidence in Court!!!
?
The scathing criticism laid down by Mr Justice Fancourt was palpable “I was unimpressed by Mr Sullivan’s grasp of the matters in issue which to a considerable degree I consider was work that had been done for him by his team and with the detail of which he was insufficiently familiar.? I was unimpressed by his exercise of judgment which seemed to me to be flawed in many instances and by his approach to answering questions? that were put to him.”
?
The RICS responded to the Judge’s comments stating (not unsurprisingly) “Justin Sullivan denies any wrongdoing, the expert witness process is by its nature adversarial, therefore it is inevitable that there are disagreements.”
?
Well, a Judge is not adversarial, a Judge is impartial with no bias so any scathing criticisms by the Judge in this instance must be accepted by the RICS without any reservation.
?
If that was an ordinary member they would have had the surveyor on charges of misconduct, bringing the profession into disrepute etc. etc.
?
The RICS never ceases to amaze me and thus demonstrate a complete lack of integrity and inappropriate conduct.? It is always the case of “if you are one of the boys you are ok, but if you are not in the club then you are out.”
The RICS is a disgraceful double standards organization.
