A Kitchener man has been fined $20,000 for attempting to pass off his own work as the work of a professional engineer.
Court heard earlier this month, a man applied a facsimile of the engineer's seal to design drawings filed with the cities of Kitchener and Waterloo and also fabricated a letter that had the seal as well.
On December 9, Robert Sajkunovic pled guilty to six counts of breaching a section of the Professional Engineers Act for applying the seal of a Cambridge engineering practitioner to six drawings.
He also pled guilty to using the title of a professional engineer on a letter submitted to the City of Waterloo in regards to a residential construction project.
The judge who heard the case issued a fine of $2,700 for use of the seal on the six drawings, plus a fine of $3,800 for the letter purporting to be from the engineer.
