Well the verdict of the administrative law judge is in! For those who want the full blow by blow of this case, go to the Professional Forum and see the thread titled "The NCAB Verses Tom Hildebrandt, The case of the Clueless Board"
The judge findings are contained in 14 page document but let me quote the two paragraphs I believe pretty much summarize Judge Chess findings.
Under Conclusions of Law " After consideration of all the evidence of record, it appears, and the undersigned so holds, that the NCAB staff has failed to show by the greater weight of the evidence that Mr. Hildebrandt violated any applicable standard in the performance and reporting of the appraisal under scrutiny."
Under Decisions "Respondent did not violate any applicable statutes or rules in performing an appraisal for his client Philip G. Kirk, attorney at law for use in the condemnation action known as Piedmont Triad International Airport v. Simms, Guilford County Superior Court case no. 98CVS9085. Therefore the N.C. Appraisal Board should not impose any disciplinary santions against Respondent as a result of the appraisal in question.
Well, that in a nutshell is what the judge has ruled. Now this whole sordid mess goes back to the two remaining NCAB members for review to see if they wish to disagree with the judge.
Any bets on what the position of the NCAB staff and/or what the NCAB final ruling is?
Many thanks to all of those who provided their kind words and supportive and comments along the three year odessy of this board action.
Those who wish a copy of the final ruling (14 pages) I will try to find a way to get it posted. Those who want a copy of the transcripts, well that is currently in three bound volumes, perhaps 800-900 pages and it is not in digital form. Cost me in excess of $1400 to get my copy, but if you want one, e-mail me privately and we will figure out some method to get it to you.
For those who sent on earlier posts on this case to other forums and venues, please feel free to send this post off as well.
Best wishes and regards to all,
Tom Hildebrandt GAA
