Decision Question
If Attorney X instructs Engineer A to suppress the corrected findings and continue relying on the original inaccurate report during settlement negotiations, what action must Engineer A take?
Focus
The scope and escalation of Engineer A's disclosure obligation when Attorney X, upon being informed of the data inaccuracy, instructs Engineer A to suppress the corrected findings and proceed with the original report during settlement negotiations
Option1
Refuse Attorney X's suppression instruction, insist on the corrected findings being introduced into the settlement process, and if Attorney X persists, withdraw from the engagement while preserving the obligation to ensure the corrected analysis is not suppressed in a manner that corrupts the legal process
Option2
Comply with Attorney X's instruction to defer introduction of the corrected findings until after the current negotiation round concludes, on the grounds that the attorney bears professional responsibility for litigation strategy decisions and Engineer A's corrective obligation is satisfied by having disclosed the inaccuracy to the retaining attorney
Option3
Refuse Attorney X's suppression instruction and, upon Attorney X's persistence, immediately escalate disclosure directly to opposing counsel and the court without first withdrawing from the engagement, on the grounds that the erroneous report's active role in negotiations affecting third parties creates an immediate public welfare obligation that supersedes the attorney-client channel
Role Label
