"...but NOT file a complaint while the law suit is ongoing."
:good: That's basic common sense...
I am talking to him again, he said to go ahead and file a complaint if I want. The suit is actually over and this is part of the resolution process ordered by the court (we will be subdividing it). Also note that this was NOT a boundary dispute...but an ownership dispute stemming from an estate.
He is not allowed to communicate regarding the case. He is required by law to communicate the discovery of a discrepancy or error in the work of another registrant. Two separate issues but moot since he has no license and is therefore not a 'registrant'.
It appears he prepared an exhibit for the case. That in and of itself is not a problem here. Teaching and expert testimony aren't Surveying. The issue came in when he applied his seal. That will bite him.
You cost $27,150,000 in today's dollars 🙂
True, putting a California stamp on a map in Vermont would be pretty dumb.
Virginia would be okay, though, they both end in "nia."
There is a plan in the MA Land Court with my Tenn stamp on it, when I had my temporary license in MA 😉
Be the case that he is not licensed in the state the work was in would indicate that his opinion does not mean anything or have any weight in or out of court in that state.
I've had people try to coerce me into admitting wrong by using so called professionals that did not have the credentials to be giving any opinion on my survey.
Have also exposed their credentials in front of a judge. He threw their whole case out the door.
It is a trick, do not listen unless or until it comes from more accredited sources.
Let them waste their time and it will catch up to them if they want to use that as evidence.
After the dust has settled, you will have more info to send your and their BOR.
