Definition
State in which a professional engineer, having completed and submitted a forensic or technical report to a retaining attorney or client, subsequently discovers that the data underlying the report's conclusions was inaccurate — and that use of accurate data would materially alter those conclusions — while the retaining attorney is actively engaged in settlement negotiations or other adversarial proceedings that rely on the submitted report, creating direct tension between the engineer's obligation of truthfulness and accuracy, the attorney's litigation strategy and settlement posture, and the duty to correct the record before consequential decisions are made on the basis of flawed findings.
