Conflict Of Interest State
C177
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A condition in which a professional firm holds competing loyalties or interests that cannot all be fully served, here a firm retained by a city to review and inspect development work while also providing design and inspection services to the private developers whose work it reviews and inspects on the city's behalf.
Inherited from ConflictOfInterestState · note
A condition in which an agent holds competing interests or loyalties, or competing role-derived duties, that cannot all be fully served and that bias or constrain the exercise of professional judgment. As a content kind it is the standing tension among interests, covering both conflict of interest and competing duties. Its deontic relevance is that it renders the affected obligations defeasible against one another and grounds the competesWith, prevailsOver, and defeasibleUnder edge family.
