    legal action against approved inspector

    Can anyone tell me what the latest thoughts are re suing approved inspectors? I know that local authority inspectors have been deemed to be beyond reproach, but information written 10 years ago state that as a contract exists between the parties, the approved inspector is open to tort. Can...
