Applied to
Engineer B's Clients Prospective Engineering Services Client Relying on Firm Brochure
Balancing with
Brochure Personnel Currency Disclosure During Active Negotiation Obligation
Pertinent Fact Misrepresentation Intent-and-Purpose Dual-Element Test
Concrete expression
Engineer B's continued distribution of the previously printed brochure listing Engineer A as a key employee during the notice period (November 1982 through actual termination) is conditionally permissible only if Engineer B provided contemporaneous corrective disclosure of Engineer A's pending departure and did not use the listing with the intent to enhance the firm's qualifications through Engineer A's credentials.
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
The notice period creates a practical window during which reprinting may not be feasible, but this window is conditioned on disclosure; Engineer B's failure to disclose Engineer A's pending departure while distributing the brochure converts conditional permissibility into a violation.
Invoked by
Engineer B Brochure-Misrepresenting Terminating Employer Engineer
Tension resolution
The conditional permissibility is defeated by Engineer B's failure to apprise clients of the changed employment status during active negotiations, transforming the notice-period distribution into a misrepresentation.
Source Evidence
