A building contractor erected a temporary wall according to plans and specifications given him by the consulting architect and engineer. The wall collapsed under heavy winds shortly after the work was completed and accepted, thereby killing a worker while dismantling the wall.

At the trial, experts testified that the wind load on the day of the incident was unsafe to undertake the dismantling work. There were no guidance provided to the contractor by the project manager nor the engineers that it could be unsafe in such conditions. The consulting engineers who reviewed and approved the design$/$specification were qualified and registered as a structural engineer. The designs were sourced from an overseas building design consultancy, and the consulting architects were its principal client and the project manager. The architect and engineer did not check for compliance with local codes and standards in regards to the temporary wall, and assume that the contract had specified so$,$ and that it was the responsibility of the contractor to ensure worker$$s safety in the provision of the temporary wall.

Is there a reasonable legal argument for the architect and engineer to be partly liable for damages, and to face potential criminal negligence charge, which resulted from the fatal collapse of the temporary wall onto the worker? Support your case with legal reasoning and case law.
