In the first instance, it is clear that under section 28 the building control regulations and the code of practice are key criteria of competence in bringing a complaint forward to the board to adjudicate on. If the other State agencies are doing what they are prescribed to do, in the first instance, if the building control authority finds someone at fault and that he or she did not comply with the regulations of building standards, it will have made a determination on that and a complaint is taken to the register that he or she is not competent because he or she has failed to display competence under the building control regulations, and that is a strong robust case for an independent board to adjudicate on.
