I suppose Reno, but I think in the OP's case, the first step should be to at least pass inspection before he moves on to a trial by jury.
From what I can gather, it sounds like maybe he’s already had to rework the installation once already.
I’m also assuming that his inspector most likely has access to information available from the AHJ to assist with his interpretations as to what is acceptable, but don’t know for sure, so maybe not.
