Properties
Instance of
Non-ObstructionofLegitimatePeerReview
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Non-ObstructionofLegitimatePeerReview
Applied to
Engineer B's post-occupancy inspection commissioned by the new facility owner
Balancing with
Engineer A's right to respond to adverse findings
Professional Dignity of Engineer A
Concrete expression
Engineer A's board complaint against Engineer B constitutes an attempt to obstruct a legitimately commissioned post-occupancy inspection by characterizing the reviewer's adverse findings as 'misconduct', thereby discouraging independent technical scrutiny of prior engineering work
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Interpretation
The new owner's right to commission an independent inspection of the facility's systems is a legitimate exercise of client autonomy; Engineer A's attempt to suppress adverse findings through a board complaint obstructs this legitimate review process
Invoked by
Engineer A Professional Reputation Complaint Filer
Tension resolution
Non-obstruction prevails: Engineer A may respond to adverse findings through technical rebuttal but may not use regulatory complaints to deter legitimate post-occupancy review
Source Evidence
Source text

Text references
Engineer A thereafter filed a complaint with the state engineering registration board alleging that Engineer B had acted improperly
The new owner informed Engineer A he had retained Engineer B to make an engineering inspection of the facility
