Decision Question
When Engineer B omits pile driving records from a forensic report prepared in an adversarial litigation context, offering an explanation that is contradicted by the scope of the engagement and the available evidence, does that omission constitute a violation of the report completeness and methodological fidelity obligations under the NSPE Code, and what action is required to remedy it?
Focus
Whether Engineer B's omission of pile driving records from the forensic report — and the contradictory professional explanation offered for that omission — constitutes an independent ethical violation of report completeness and methodological fidelity obligations, distinct from any disclosure obligation arising after submission
Option1
Include the pile driving records in the forensic report with a transparent professional assessment of their reliability, clearly identifying any methodological limitations, so that the retaining attorney and all parties relying on the report have access to the complete evidentiary record
Option2
Omit the pile driving records from the report body but disclose their existence and Engineer B's professional assessment of their reliability in a separate technical memorandum provided to the retaining attorney, leaving to the attorney the decision about whether and how to introduce them into the proceeding
Option3
Omit the pile driving records from the report on the grounds that the engagement scope as defined by the retaining attorney did not require their analysis, and document the scope limitation in the report's methodology section without separately disclosing the existence of the omitted records to the attorney or opposing party
Role Label
Engineer B
