Definition
State in which a successor engineer has placed a general note on a plan set claiming responsibility for 'revisions' without specifying what those revisions are, while leaving the predecessor engineer's seal and signature intact on all sheets — creating a document that is ambiguous as to authorship, misleading as to the scope of the successor's responsibility, and insufficient to protect the predecessor from liability for work they did not perform.
