Obligation statement
Engineer Doe was obligated under §2(c) to report XYZ Corporation's instruction not to render a written report — constituting a request for unprofessional conduct — to proper authorities, particularly upon learning that XYZ presented contradictory data at the public hearing before the State Pollution Control Authority.
Temporal scope
Upon learning of XYZ Corporation's contradictory testimony at the public regulatory hearing
Source Evidence
Source text
That portion of §2(c) which requires the engineer to report any request for 'unprofessional' conduct to 'proper authorities' is particularly pertinent in the situation before us.
Text references
That portion of §2(c) which requires the engineer to report any request for 'unprofessional' conduct to 'proper authorities' is particularly pertinent in the situation before us.
The client's action instructing Doe to not render a written report when coupled with XYZ's testimony at the hearing raises the question of Doe's obligation under §2(c).
We interpret the language in the context of the facts to mean that it would now be 'unprofessional conduct' for Doe to not take further action to protect the public interest.
