Simpson [2023] BPB CB26298 – Not Upheld Decision
- Complaint number: CB26298
- LBP number: BP107260
- Region: West Coast
- Licence class: Carpentry
- Decision date: 26 March 2024
- Penalty: No action taken
- Disciplinary grounds: 317(1) b Negligent or incompetent work - not upheld 317(1) h Misrepresented or worked outside competence - not upheld
- Summary: The Respondent has not committed a disciplinary offence. Multiple allegations were being investigated. The first related to a failure to ensure a Building Consent was in place for building work before it was undertaken. The Board found that whilst the building work did require a Building Consent, and the Respondent should have ensured one was in place, the conduct, in the context of the matter, was not serious enough to warrant a disciplinary finding. The remaining allegations were not upheld.
