Decision Question
When XYZ Corporation instructed Doe not to produce a written report and terminated his contract, was Doe obligated to resist that suppression instruction by insisting on producing and delivering a written report of his adverse findings, independently of any subsequent obligation triggered by the public hearing?
Focus
Whether XYZ Corporation's instruction to Doe not to produce a written report constituted an independently wrongful act that Doe was obligated to resist at the time of contract termination — and whether Doe's verbal-only advisory was sufficient to discharge his professional duty to document and communicate findings bearing on public safety.
Option1
Refuse to accept contract termination without first producing and delivering a complete written report of adverse findings to XYZ Corporation, and report XYZ's suppression instruction to the appropriate professional body or regulatory authority
Option2
Accept contract termination and the instruction not to produce a written report, treating the verbal advisory as a complete discharge of professional obligations, while retaining personal notes of findings for potential future use if a regulatory proceeding arises
Option3
Accept contract termination but prepare and retain a complete internal written record of findings without delivering it to XYZ or the authority, treating the written documentation as a professional preservation measure while deferring any disclosure decision until a concrete regulatory trigger — such as a public hearing — arises
