that APEGA’s usual policy is to publish Recommended Discipline Orders in a manner that identifies the Member by name, the parties understand that the decision to publish with or without name is discretionary. The parties submit that publication without name is appropriate, given the specific facts in this case, including the following: i. The Member has been in good standing as an engineer with APEGA and has had no prior findings of unprofessional conduct or unskilled practice since he has been a member. ii. This matter contained unique circum- stances that the Panel felt would not have been duplicated with any other previous inspection conducted by the Member. iii. The Member willingly admitted fault. iv. The Member fully cooperated with the investigation and it was determined there was no further risk to the public.
a. During his field inspection he did not identify the items set out in paragraphs 8, 9, and 10 of the Agreed Statement of Facts and thereby demonstrated a lack of judgment in carrying out a duty or obligation undertaken in the practice of engineering. 14. The Member acknowledges that the conduct is a breach of Section 44(1)(e) of the Act and therefore constitutes unprofessional conduct as defined in the Act . E. RECOMMENDED ORDERS 15.
