Building Act 1984 · 1984 c. 55View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 2A: REGULATION OF BUILDING CONTROL PROFESSION

If it appears to the regulatory authority (on receipt of a complaint or otherwise) that a registered building inspector may be guilty of professional misconduct, the authority may investigate the matter.

In this Part "professional misconduct", in relation to a registered building inspector, means conduct that—

falls short of the standards of conduct and practice expected of registered building inspectors, or
is likely to bring the profession of registered building inspectors into disrepute.

The regulatory authority must prepare and publish a statement of the procedure it will follow when investigating a registered building inspector under this section (which must include an opportunity for the inspector to make representations).

The regulatory authority may revise the statement at any time (and must publish any revised statement).
