Part IV Prosecutions

Ian Salisbury made this Freedom of Information request to Architects Registration Board

The request was successful.

From: Ian Salisbury

9 July 2010

Dear Architects Registration Board,

Please may I know on an annual basis since the Board was
incorporated under s.1 of the Architects Act 1997 how many
prosecutions there have been under Part IV of the Act in England &
Wales, in Scotland and in Northern Ireland that (a) have been
instigated by the Board or (b) have been instigated by others. If
your reply to (b) is positive, please inform me in each instance of
the party or organisation bringing those prosecutions. In each
instance, please let me know whether the prosecution succeeded.

As a separate inquiry may I also please know the cost to the Board
of the last three successful cases and the last three unsuccessful
cases. In each of these cases please let me know which side, if
any, was awarded costs and the amounts paid.

As a further separate inquiry, please inform me of the penalty
imposed on the guilty party in the last three successful cases.
Please let me know whether, and if so what proportion of these
penalties have been paid to the Board.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Salisbury

Dear Karen,

Thank you for your letter 29 July 2010.

I am grateful for the reference to the publicly available
information in answer to my first question. Please confirm whether
during the perod relevant to my request whether all the
prosecutions instigated by the Board, including any unsuccessful
proceedings, are listed there. If there are any that are not listed
then may I please have the information I requested in relation to
all of those cases.

Unfortunately you appear to have overlooked my second question,
namely:

"...may I also please know the cost to the Board of the last three
successful cases and the last three unsuccessful cases. In each of
these cases please let me know which side, if any, was awarded
costs and the amounts paid."

I would be grateful to have that information please.

Thank you for your answer to my third question.

Yours sincerely,

Ian Salisbury
