They were not part of the original contract for the work, they have no rights to your work product. You can always tell them that the original survey was done for X person, and they could go get a copy from that person, if they didn’t like it.

OOh.... if you get into the "work for hire" and "copyright" angle, Jim may not even be ALLOWED to distribute a copy to a 3rd party, since that would be in violation of copyright laws. And since the laws says he has to keep a copy, he can't send the only copy he has.
What a shame....
