Properties
Instance of
BusinessCardMailingAddressDisclosureObligationinMulti-StatePractice
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#BusinessCardMailingAddressDisclosureObligationinMulti-StatePractice
Applied to
Business card lacking mailing address presented at business meeting in State E
Balancing with
PE Title Omission of Licensure Jurisdiction Disclosure Obligation
Concrete expression
Engineer A's Situation 1 business card omits a mailing address in addition to omitting states of licensure, compounding the misleading impression that the engineer may be available for engineering practice in State E where the card is presented.
Confidence
0.78
Importance
medium
Interpretation
The absence of a mailing address prevents recipients from identifying the geographic base of the engineer's practice and cross-referencing licensure status, contributing to the overall misleading character of the Situation 1 card.
Invoked by
Engineer A Situation 1 Multi-Jurisdiction Business Card Presenter
Tension resolution
Both the mailing address omission and the state-of-licensure omission contribute to the ethics concern in Situation 1; Situation 2's compliance demonstrates that both elements are achievable.
Source Evidence
Source text
