a) They get to know; and
b) it occurred in their jurisdiction

It is entirely possible to operate a Cat A twin with one engine down, legally, if you get a special one-time ferry permit under your 135 ticket. I have provided letters to operators to do so (as a manufacturer's rep).
Limits typically are :
No pax
Min crew
Cat B flight is possible (no congested areas along route)
All aircraft systems are healthy except the engine in question
Cat B operations are permitted in the flight manual
The operation is necessary
