I feel that the IFA would have every "reasonable" right to ask for corporate membership or other grade thereof if-and only if, the job advertised was specifically as a staff member of their organisation.Outside of that and I feel that any court would see the requirement as unreasonable.My point relating to the IFA and litigation is largely borne of a frustration where I can find no-one who is willing to take responsibility. The IFA are largely unnaccountable.To anyone-let alone the general public.It is my contention that if the IFA are to validate individuals and accredit organisations-they should indeed be accountable.In a commercial environment, a client (in 1mans view) with a valid grievence should only take action against the contracter he enlisted the services of.My view is that if the client enlisted the services of an organisation (RAO/MIFA-led) because they were recommended by the IFA- surely, the IFA are accountable as they supplied the stamp of approval and failed in their claims of policing and the maintaining of standards etc. Someone needs to be accountable in the current free-for all environment.:face-huh:Of course ideally- in an environment where to practise,everyone must sign up to standards and those standards are rigourously defended/monitored/policed or even...taken seriously, we may just begin to at least- be seen to be the beginnings of an embryonic "profession".
