Vulpes,
Regarding the recent article you mention, Peter Hinton and Tim Howard claimed, to their credit, that the outcome of this conclusion (widely conjectured to be a firm legal footing to require all planning related work to be carried out by IfA members or ROs) is open to differing views depending on the what questions they asked their counsel, although this seems like an admission that their querries were designed to favour their stance. Sounds like questionable footings to me and easily worth a judicial challenge.
Out of interest, are all building companies (which I presume conduct some or all their work under planning regs) required to be members of the Chartered Institute Builders?
