Decision question
Upon discovering that the submitted forensic report contains a material data inaccuracy that renders its conclusions invalid — while Attorney X is actively using that report in settlement negotiations — what action must Engineer A take, and does the adversarial litigation context or the potential harm to the client's settlement position alter that obligation?
Focus
Engineer A's affirmative obligation to immediately disclose a discovered data inaccuracy to Attorney X during active settlement negotiations, notwithstanding the adversarial litigation context and potential harm to the client's negotiating position
Option1
Immediately advise Attorney X of the data inaccuracy and its effect on the report's conclusions, without awaiting preparation of a corrected analysis, so that Attorney X can make informed decisions about the ongoing negotiations
Option2
Notify Attorney X of the discovered inaccuracy while simultaneously preparing the corrected analysis, deferring formal disclosure to Attorney X until the replacement report is ready so that the disclosure is accompanied by actionable corrected findings rather than an unresolved gap
Option3
Advise Attorney X of the inaccuracy and recommend suspension of settlement negotiations pending issuance of a corrected report, framing the disclosure as a litigation management recommendation within the scope of the forensic engagement rather than as a unilateral corrective action
Role
Engineer A
