Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Engineer A's interest in notification before Engineer B reviewed original MEP designs
Balancing with
Independent Engineering Review as Client and Public Interest Instrument Principle
Terminated-Connection Peer Review Permissibility Principle
Concrete expression
Engineer A's professional dignity interest in being notified of and having an opportunity to respond to a review of original design work was acknowledged as a legitimate concern underlying Section 12(a)'s knowledge requirement, but this interest was outweighed by the termination of Engineer A's connection to the project and the client's interest in independent review.
Confidence
0.85
Importance
medium
Interpretation
Professional dignity supports the knowledge requirement's purpose of enabling the prior engineer to provide context, but does not extend to shielding the prior engineer from adverse findings or preventing client-commissioned independent review after the engagement has concluded.
Invoked by
Engineer A Original MEP Design Engineer
Tension resolution
Professional dignity interest was outweighed by the termination of connection and client/public interest in independent review; the dignity interest was served by the joint inspection in which Engineer A participated.
