Case context
The NSPE BER noted that Engineer A's friendship with Engineer B, while not justifying non-reporting, warranted consideration in how the reporting was carried out — specifically, that Engineer A could have worked with Engineer B to identify a compliant practice alternative and presented that to the Board, potentially influencing the Board's exercise of discretion regarding formal sanction.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.85
Importance
medium
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A, as Engineer B's personal friend and with Engineer B's knowledge and approval, was permitted — and encouraged — to cooperatively identify a temporary practice management alternative (such as engaging Engineer R as a temporary licensed engineer) when reporting Engineer B to the State Board, so that the reporting obligation was fulfilled without unnecessarily destroying Engineer B's practice.
Temporal scope
Contemporaneous with or immediately following the required report to the State Board
Source Evidence
Source text
As Engineer B's friend and with Engineer B's approval, once the matter was reported to the Board, it would have been permissible for Engineer A to help cooperatively identify a temporary practice management alternative that supported the professional and ethical practice of engineering work in Engineer B's business, until Engineer B returned to full duty.

Working together, the parties might cooperatively identify a practice alternative consistent with ethical and legal engineering consulting work, say, hiring a qualified temporary engineer – possibly Engineer R – until Engineer B was able to return to full duty.
