Properties
Instance of
ConflictofInterestRecusalObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ConflictofInterestRecusalObligation
Applied to
Engineer A's current employment role
State's objection proceedings in water-rights case
Balancing with
Loyalty
Stamped Document Ongoing Professional Accountability
Concrete expression
Engineer A's current employer (the State) has isolated him from the water-rights case in which his prior stamped work is the subject of the State's objection, implementing a structural recusal to prevent his prior private-client relationship from compromising the State's litigation position or creating an appearance of bias
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
The recusal obligation here runs in both directions: Engineer A should not participate in the State's adversarial strategy against his former client's analysis, and the State should not leverage Engineer A's insider knowledge of the private firm's work product
Invoked by
Engineer A Current Case Private-to-Public Transitioning Engineer
State Objector Agency Individual
Tension resolution
The institutional isolation arrangement satisfies the recusal obligation by removing Engineer A from the State's case entirely, while leaving open the question of whether he may separately defend the technical integrity of his stamped work if called upon in appropriate proceedings
