Default Liability & responsibility of electrician?

In article , "William Sommerwerck" wrote:
I would have two simple questions...

1. Did the electrician have any control over the voltage when the system was
rewired?

2. Is it normal for electricians to measure the voltage, and "do something"
about it if it's not correct (if only reporting the problem to the
businessman)?


Assuming a nominal 240VAC supply, 245V is in no way "not correct" -- it's only
about a 2% overvoltage.
