Is Appraiser D allowed to critique the opposing appraisal report for the attorney?

Appraiser D is not allowed to critique the opposing appraisal report for the attorney because this action can violate USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) regulations. USPAP emphasizes the importance of integrity and impartiality in appraisal practice. When an appraiser critiques another appraiser's report, it can introduce bias and compromise their independence, especially if they are not involved in a formal review process that follows established procedures.

Furthermore, USPAP outlines specific guidelines on maintaining an appraiser's objectivity and avoiding conflicts of interest. Engaging in a critique without proper context and adherence to ethical standards can lead to potential legal and professional repercussions. Thus, engaging in such critiques without following the appropriate procedures outlined in USPAP is not permissible.
