Properties
Instance of
AdversarialEngagementObjectivityObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#AdversarialEngagementObjectivityObligation
Applied to
ABC Manufacturing Repeat Litigation Client
Attorney X Plaintiff-Side Retaining Attorney
Balancing with
Confidentiality
Loyalty
Concrete expression
Engineer A was obligated to maintain full objectivity in each of her three engagements regardless of which party retained her, and her service to both ABC Manufacturing and its adversary across unrelated matters does not impair this objectivity provided each engagement was conducted independently on its own technical merits
Confidence
0.85
Importance
medium
Interpretation
The objectivity obligation applies within each engagement; serving different parties in unrelated matters does not create a structural objectivity problem, but Engineer A must ensure that each engagement's analysis is conducted without reference to or influence from prior engagements
Invoked by
Engineer A Multi-Party Litigation Expert
Tension resolution
Objectivity is maintained by treating each engagement as independent; the unrelated nature of the matters supports rather than undermines this independence
