Decision Question
Should Engineer T have volunteered during the deposition the earlier personal belief that a professional error may have been made in not exploring alternative design concepts, given that Engineer T privately held that belief before deferring to Engineer B's dismissal and the attorneys' guidance to respond factually without characterizing the design as an error?
Focus
Engineer T: Error Acknowledgment and Deposition Disclosure Conduct After Post-Accident Self-Assessment and Joint No-Error Determination
Option1
Respond factually and completely to all deposition questions as asked, without volunteering the earlier personal belief that a professional error may have been made, in accordance with attorneys' guidance and the joint no-error determination reached with Engineer B
Option2
Proactively disclose during the deposition, without being asked, the earlier personal belief that a professional error may have been made in not exploring alternative design concepts, framing the disclosure as a truthful professional statement rather than a legal admission of fault
Option3
Before the deposition, seek independent ethical guidance — from NSPE, a disinterested peer outside XYZ, or a professional ethics resource — to determine whether the earlier personal error belief creates an affirmative disclosure obligation under III.1.a that operates independently of the joint no-error determination and the attorneys' deposition strategy
