Trumpy: You have hit the nail on the head. I am involved with the legal community regarding codes, interpretations, safety, corruption, etc. What is maddening is 99% of the items are settled by negotiation with a non-disclosure agreement. There are really no winners in this type of settlement other than the wrongdoers. City and county officials don't want their dirty laundry exposed as it may lead to other charges. Many times the defense has tried to place blame on those who bill themselves as "code experts". Arbitrators and judges have consistantly ruled that the EC is the expert when the safety of an electrical installation is questioned. The NFPA is not liable, the ahj is not liable, and the "code expert" is not liable.
