Properties
Instance of
Third-PartyAffectedPartyDirectNotificationObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Third-PartyAffectedPartyDirectNotificationObligation
Applied to
Building occupants exposed to injury risk
Client's refusal to remediate
Electrical and mechanical code violations
Balancing with
Confidentiality Principle
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A failed to directly notify building occupants of the electrical and mechanical code violations that could cause them injury, despite having actual knowledge of the hazard and the client's refusal to remediate
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
The building occupants were identifiable third parties directly exposed to injury risk from the code violations — Engineer A's obligation to protect their safety required direct notification when the client refused to remediate and regulatory reporting was not pursued
Invoked by
Engineer A
Tension resolution
Direct notification of building occupants was required given the direct exposure to injury risk and the client's refusal to remediate — Engineer A's failure to notify occupants constitutes an ethical violation
Source Evidence
Source text

Text references
