Ethical gauntlet thrown down in pursuit of construction code
Article Abstract:
The Society of Construction Law set up an ethics group to consider a single ethical code for the loose grouping of professionals from many disciplines who work in construction law and who are bound by a variety of different professional standards. An ethical code might help by giving guidance as to when a 'conflict review' would be appropriate, how to carry it out, who should be told about the problem, and what other positive action might be apt.
