Properties
Instance of
Jurisdiction-SpecificEthicsComplianceObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Jurisdiction-SpecificEthicsComplianceObligation
Applied to
ABC Engineering's obligation to assess state-specific conflict of interest rules before participating in design-build procurement after peer review
Balancing with
Post-Review Conflict of Interest Avoidance in Design-Build Procurement
Concrete expression
The BER's explicit notation that state laws may vary regarding whether ABC Engineering's design-build participation after peer review constitutes a conflict of interest imposes on ABC Engineering an obligation to research and comply with the applicable state law in the jurisdiction where the project is located
Confidence
0.88
Importance
medium
Interpretation
The BER's national-level finding of no conflict does not discharge ABC Engineering's obligation to comply with potentially more stringent state law; engineers must proactively identify and comply with the most demanding applicable standard
Invoked by
ABC Engineering Design-Build Joint Venture Engineer
Engineer A External Peer Review Lead Engineer
Tension resolution
Engineers must comply with the most stringent applicable standard; where state law is more restrictive than national ethics standards, state law governs
Source Evidence
