Decision Question
When the developer client's commercial interest in a favorable regulatory outcome conflicts with Engineer A's obligation to submit a complete and truthful written report to the public authority, does the faithful agent obligation authorize Engineer A to omit the threatened species finding, and was Engineer A required to advise the client in advance that the finding would be included before submitting the report?
Focus
Engineer A Environmental Principal: Whether the faithful agent obligation to the developer client conflicts with the paramount public welfare obligation when the client's commercial interest in a favorable report requires omitting a material environmental finding from a quasi-public regulatory document, and how the client-first confrontation norm interacts with the completeness duty.
Option1
Notify the developer client in advance that the threatened species finding will be included in the written report, include the finding in the report as submitted to the public authority, and offer to help the client develop a regulatory response or mitigation strategy
Option2
Treat the developer client as the primary principal whose commercial interests govern the report's scope, omit the finding on the ground that the faithful agent obligation authorizes deference to the client's evident preference for a favorable report, and rely on the client's own regulatory counsel to determine whether the finding must be separately disclosed to the authority
Option3
Advise the developer client of the finding and give the client a defined period to voluntarily supplement the submission to the public authority with the threatened species information before Engineer A takes independent action, treating the client-first confrontation norm as a prerequisite step that, if the client fails to act, then obligates Engineer A to include the finding directly or withdraw from the engagement
Role Label
