Decision question
Should Engineer B disclose in the report that dynamic test equipment failed, that pile driving records were not reviewed, and that the scope excluded material data sources, or present conclusions without flagging these limitations?
Focus
Engineer B, serving as a litigation expert, prepared a report on pile foundation adequacy without disclosing that dynamic test equipment had failed during testing, that pile driving records were not reviewed, and that the scope of work excluded data sources material to the conclusions drawn. The question is whether Engineer B was obligated to disclose these scope limitations and data gaps prominently in the report.
Option1
Prominently state in the report that dynamic test equipment failed, that pile driving records were not reviewed, and that the contracted scope excluded material data sources, so that readers can properly assess the weight of the conclusions.
Option2
Confine the report to findings within the contracted scope without volunteering information about equipment failure or excluded records, on the basis that scope definition is the retaining party's prerogative and that opposing counsel may surface gaps through cross-examination.
Option3
Communicate the equipment failure and data gaps privately to retaining counsel and allow counsel to decide whether and how to address them in the litigation record, treating the disclosure obligation as satisfied through the attorney-client channel rather than the public report.
