Decision Question
Did Engineer A's faithful agent obligation to the developer client provide any legitimate basis for omitting the threatened species finding from the written report submitted to the public authority, or did the engagement's regulatory purpose and the public welfare paramount obligation render the faithful agent duty inapplicable to the content of the official submission?
Focus
Whether the faithful agent obligation to the developer client — including the client's implicit interest in a favorable regulatory report — conflicts with the public welfare paramount obligation and the objective completeness duty, and at what point client loyalty crosses into an impermissible curating of the evidentiary record presented to a regulatory authority.
Option1
Include the threatened species finding in the written report as a matter of mandatory completeness, advise the developer client of its inclusion before submission, and offer to help the client develop a regulatory response or mitigation strategy — treating faithful agency as governing the manner of client service rather than the content of the official submission
Option2
Omit the threatened species finding from the written report in deference to the developer client's implicit commercial interest in a favorable regulatory outcome, treating the faithful agent obligation as authorizing the engineer to present the analysis in the light most favorable to the client absent an explicit instruction to include adverse findings
Option3
Withdraw from the engagement upon receiving the biologist's threatened species finding, on the basis that the client's anticipated preference for omission creates an irreconcilable conflict between the faithful agent obligation and the mandatory completeness duty, rather than submitting either a complete or an incomplete report
