Obligated party
Engineer B (Successor Design Engineer)
Obligation statement
Engineer B was obligated to refrain from misleading conduct — whether intentional or unwitting — arising from the failure to specify the nature, scope, and location of all design changes made to Engineer A's sealed plans, and was prohibited from substituting a vague title-sheet disclaimer for the specific, itemized change documentation required by professional ethics.
Temporal scope
At the time of submitting the redesigned plan set to regulatory authorities and the client
Relationships
Source Evidence
Source text
We view the conduct of Engineer B under the facts of this case to be misleading either intentionally or unwittingly
Text references
Engineer B's failure to state with specificity what those changes in fact were made such a notation on the title sheet virtually meaningless
His failure to do so constituted a form of deception which places him in violation of Section III.3.a.
