Concrete expression

Interpretation
Engineer A's role as Developer F's retained engineer permits presenting the project favorably and confining testimony to what is asked, provided Engineer A does not actively misrepresent or suppress material safety information. The faithful agent role is exercised within ethical limits because Engineer A was prepared to answer truthfully if questioned and did not actively deceive the Board.
Invoked by
Engineer A Public Hearing Presenting Consulting Engineer
Tension resolution
The faithful agent obligation is satisfied because Engineer A presented the project accurately (the environmental benefits are genuine), answered questions truthfully, and was prepared to disclose adverse information if asked. The ethical limits are not breached because no active deception occurred and the hearing process compensated through other witnesses.
