Decision question
Did Engineer A's verbal mention of the threatened species concern to the developer client discharge any part of the professional obligation to ensure the public authority received complete environmental information, or does the omission from the written report constitute a self-standing ethical violation independent of the private client communication?
Focus
Whether Engineer A's verbal disclosure of the threatened species concern to the developer client satisfied any portion of the ethical obligation owed to the public authority, or whether the submission of an incomplete written report to the public authority constitutes an independent ethical violation regardless of what was privately communicated to the client.
Option1
Include the threatened species finding in the written report submitted to the public authority and separately notify the developer client of its inclusion before submission, treating the written report as the authoritative professional representation to the regulatory body
Option2
Treat the verbal disclosure to the developer client as satisfying the notification obligation, relying on the client-first confrontation norm to shift responsibility for public disclosure to the developer, and submit the written report without the finding pending the client's response
Option3
Append a written addendum to the client file documenting the verbal disclosure and the biologist's finding, without including the finding in the body of the written report submitted to the public authority, on the basis that the addendum preserves the professional record while respecting the client's interest in controlling the regulatory submission
