Properties
Instance of
FaithfulAgentNotificationObligationforProjectSuccessRisk
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#FaithfulAgentNotificationObligationforProjectSuccessRisk
Applied to
Client B as the retaining client
Balancing with
Public welfare paramount (client notification alone is insufficient)
Scope-of-work limitations
Concrete expression
Engineer A, as faithful agent of Client B, immediately advised Client B of the observed structural instability and preliminary findings regarding the cause of the roof sag and wall lean, fulfilling the faithful agent obligation to advise the client of identified risks even outside the contracted scope
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
The faithful agent relationship required Engineer A to advise Client B of the structural hazard discovered during the fire investigation, even though the structural assessment was outside the contracted scope, because the hazard affected Client B's property interests
Invoked by
Engineer A Forensic Building Investigation Engineer
Tension resolution
Faithful agent notification obligation is satisfied by advising Client B, but does not discharge the broader public welfare obligation to notify regulatory authorities and building owners
