Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Client A Cost-Refusing Developer
Future Residents and Public Coastal Safety Stakeholder
Local Government Officials Building Code Authority
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Confidentiality
Concrete expression
Engineer A must proactively communicate the identified storm surge risk to Client A, to local government officials with building code authority, and potentially to future residents or the public, without waiting for formal requests or for harm to materialize
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, proactive risk disclosure requires Engineer A to communicate the storm surge risk not only to Client A but also to appropriate regulatory and governmental authorities, because the risk affects third parties — future residents — who have no direct voice in the design standard decision
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Coastal Risk Assessment
Tension resolution
The proactive disclosure obligation runs to affected third parties and regulatory authorities, not merely to the client; the absence of a formal request for disclosure does not discharge the obligation when material public safety risks are identified
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A believes the residential development project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation, due to public safety risks even at lower projections of future surge level rise
Text references
Because of the increased cost, Owner refuses to agree that the residential development project be built to a 100-year projection storm surge elevation
