Annotations

• Incompetency refers to a demonstrated lack of skill to perform duties of licensed land surveyor; misconduct violates standards of professional behavior established through professional experience. A land surveyor must exercise care which a surveyor of ordinary skill and prudence would exercise under similar circumstances. Simonds v. Board of Examiners, 213 Neb. 259, 329 N.W.2d 92 (1983).
