Architects Act Article 47

All disciplinary actions imposed by the municipality or county (city) government authority should be coursed through the Disciplinary Committee for Architects. The Disciplinary Committee for Architects shall thereafter notify the concerned architect about the disciplinary action matters imposed and require said architect to present his response to such charge(s) or personally argue his/her case with the committee within twenty days; where no response or personal rebuttal is received from the architect after the deadline has elapsed, the board may arbitrarily deliberate and decide on the case.
