Disciplinary Hearing - Chi Bun (Ray) Chan, P.Eng., Richmond, BC A complaint was received by APEGBC regarding an independent structural design (concept review) performed by Mr. Chan. The matter was referred to the Investigation Committee for further investigation. The Investigation Committee recommended a disciplinary inquiry be held into Mr. Chan’s failure to identify major gravity and lateral load deficiencies in the structural drawings he reviewed. On January 23, 2013, a disciplinary inquiry relating to the allegations were proven and, after considering the evidence, found that Mr. Chan had demonstrated unprofessional conduct. A hearing on penalty and costs was held on April 9, 2013, and the discipline panel ordered that Mr. Chan: a. Receive a reprimand; b. Not perform concept reviews until the requirements in sub-paragraphs (c) to (e) have been completed; c. Undergo a practice review at his own expense; d. Pay a $5,000 fine; and e. Pay $16,001.85 of APEGBC’s legal costs.
