In April 2014 the Institution of Professional Engineers dismissed a complaint about Alan Reay and his involvement with the design and building of the CTV building that collapsed killing 115 people in the 22 February 2011 earthquake because Dr Reay was no longer a member of IPENZ. In a judgment 7 December 2018 in Attorney General v IPENZ & anor [2018] NZHC 3211 the High Court (Collins J) decided that IPENZ was wrong in its interpretation of the word”member” and that member included a person that had resigned after the complaint was made. So IPENZ is now able to consider complaints about Dr Reay.
