The Architects Registration Board (ARB) has removed a Scottish architect from the Register and warned architects to ensure that they properly supervise all undertaking architectural work in their firms. At a Hearing of the ARB's Professional Conduct Committee in Glasgow on September 28, architect William Duncan Paterson of Stuart Duncan Partnership, Glasgow G11 was erased from the Register of Architects. The architectural work in this case concerned a residential property in North Ayrshire and was carried out by Mr Paterson's partner, Mr W Jamieson, who is not an architect. The Partnership held itself out as 'architects' on its notepaper and Mr Paterson, as the only architect within the firm, should have supervised the work.
