Definition

A public agency client role in which a government body, upon receiving verbal notification of a potentially safety-relevant structural defect discovered incidentally by a sub-consultant, instructs the prime consultant and sub-consultant to exclude that finding from the formal written report on the grounds that it falls outside the contracted scope of work, thereby generating a conflict between institutional risk management interests and the paramount public safety obligations borne by licensed engineers.
