THE PHILIPPINES INCORPORATED THROUGH THE

FOREWORD

The 2013 Professional Practice Committee has crafted the

Rules in Handling Cases Lodge before the Institute of

Integrated Electrical Engineers of the Philippines, Inc.

through the Professional Practice Committee in order to

guide members who would like to seek redress arising from

acts or omissions committed by another in relation to the

professional practice of the members of the Institute.

The provisions laid herein details the step-by-step procedure

on how cases lodged to the Institute are acted upon,

following the tenets of due process, which is the primordial

consideration in rendering decisions to each controversy.

Due to recent developments in the field of practice the

Institute has found it necessary to provide specific

procedure in the disposition of controversies so that in

cases where the intervention of the courts of justice would

be inevitable, the process undertaken by the Institute can

withstand judicial scrutiny.

Moreover, these rules are intended to inform and guide IIEE

members of their rights and how to exercise it. The forgoing

rules had been written in a manner that can be easily

understood by the users; however, there were legal terms

that were used herein in order to realign our rules to be

consistent with the rules of procedure employed by our

Courts of Justice.

At the end portion of this handbook, the 2014 Professional

Practice Committee has provided a flowchart, so that at a

glance, the reader will have a grasp of the entire process.

There is also a table that provides a short description of each

step. Also, for easy reference, sample forms that will be used

for the commencement of an action have been appended

herein.

Finally, the Committee hopes that with this handbook, all the

members of the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of

the Philippines, Inc. as well as other electrical practitioners

local and abroad will be properly guided.
