Are there any inspectors that have defected a job based on 110.12?

Are there any contractors that have had an inspector defect their job with 110.12 as the basis for disapproval?

I ask this because it seems we have to be so precise in "chapter and verse" that I can't hardly imagine such a subjective section getting used often if at all. I have seen work that I believe would definitely qualify for the use of 110.12 due to the lack of a quality installation, but I couldn't find a way to justify the decision with anything other than my own opinion. Some installs, although sloppy, still pose no safety hazard to the end-user.
 
I would have a hard time in court trying to explain or define "neat & workmanlike". If I run across a truly sloppy job, I will look much harder for legitimate code violations.
 
I have mentioned the section on advisories to let the contractor know I am being critical of his work, but I have never used it as a basis for a rejection.

I agree, if the job is really sloppy, there is usually other code violations that can be cited. I have never failed a job based on 110.12.
