Andrew Schofield FRICS FPTS Director of Schofield’s Surveyors declares he is ‘INCAPABLE of acting!’

Andrew Schofield FRICS FPTS Director of Schofield’s Surveyors declares to his appointing owner ‘Pursuant to s10(5) of the Act and your letter of appointment dated 9th July 2024 I hereby declare myself incapable of acting.’. Rather bizarre… I am not aware of how anyone can declare themselves ‘incapable pursuant to s10(5) of the Act or their letter of appointment???

Despite his post nominals he does not appear to understand that section 10(5) does not itself create a power of withdrawal but rather sets out the consequence if incapacity exists, he did not clarify any factual or professional grounds upon which he considered himself incapable of continuing to act.
