Definition

Properties
Instance of
Post-EngagementViolationDiscoveryState
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Post-EngagementViolationDiscoveryState
Active period
From the moment Engineer A observes the fill installation, after the engagement has concluded, through resolution of reporting obligations
Affected parties
Client
Engineer A
Federal and state regulatory agencies
Case context
Engineer A's professional engagement had concluded months before the discovery. The observation was incidental rather than part of any ongoing professional duty, raising the question of whether post-engagement obligations require Engineer A to report the violation to authorities.
Confidence
0.88
Principle Transformation
Transforms the general principle that professional obligations do not automatically terminate with a contract into a concrete duty to evaluate reporting and disclosure obligations when a post-engagement discovery reveals client misconduct related to the prior engagement.
Subject
Engineer A's epistemic and professional situation after completing wetland delineation services
Terminated by
Engineer A's decision to report or not report to regulatory authorities, or client's remediation of the violation
