Very much agree with Troll et al in that standards, professionalism etc. are the reponsisbilty of all - actually contractrually and legally as well as morally, and I said as much earlier up the thread. I do not agree however that legislation, however much I agree that it is necessary, would inevitably hold everyone to account. There would still need to be a mechanism to enforce those standards and laws, and the problem is that unlike construction there is no commercial advantage (to clients)in maintaining those standards.
