legal dissection

[Mike Kennedy]

Anyone signing the report as an appraiser is liable for the content of the report and the appraisal process utlized in its development.

Having said that, if I were in an enforcement position, I would expect a trainee to have different levels of competency, depending upon their education and experience, and would be reasonable in any decision against the trainee. Their demeanor and actions after the deficiency had been identified would be a significant influence in any decision I would make.

On the other hand, the CR/CG is assumed to be completely competent and responsible for any report he/she signs.

.........and only if the Supervisory Appraiser SIGNS it does it become a viable, acceptable appraisal report.

IF a S.A. permits a Trainee to demonstrate Incompetence...........then he S.A. is equally Incompetent, Unethetical, and should have his/her License evoked immediately (when the Case is proven and he/she had a FAIR opportunity to rebut the charges).

Tens of thousands of "skippies n skippettes" .....were TAUGHT to ........"skip".
