When that happens, it seems to me that the architect is still responsible for reviewing that resubmitted document to confirm they picked up all the comments - even though they did not require the resubmittal. Is there any legal backing to receiving a for record resubmittal and noting it as not reviewed?

Not enough fee to review it again if I didn’t already mark it R&R for cause. Frugal is the order of the day. Have you ever gotten a blank check fee before, or was it negotiated? If negotiated, then the client has established he is not paying for your best effort, only a reasonable level of effort (hopefully!). Expend your time and effort accordingly.
