Case context
Engineer Intern D's faithful agent obligation runs to the State DOT as employer and client. The DOT's explicit cost-allocation policy is a binding institutional constraint that defines the scope of faithful service. Implementing a design revision that circumvents that policy would constitute a breach of the faithful agent duty to the DOT, notwithstanding the supervisor's directive.
