Decision question
Should Engineer B notify Engineer A of the new engagement and peer review relationship in defiance of the franchiser's confidentiality instruction, or comply with the client's instruction and remain silent?
Focus
Engineer B must decide whether to notify Engineer A of the new engagement and peer review relationship despite the franchiser's explicit confidentiality instruction, and if so, how to scope that disclosure relative to what the peer review notification obligation actually requires.
Option1
Disclose to Engineer A the existence of the new engagement relationship and the fact that a peer review is underway, limiting disclosure strictly to what Section III.8.a requires and withholding preliminary review results as confidential client work product.
Option2
Honor the franchiser's explicit instruction and refrain from any disclosure to Engineer A until Engineer A's contract has expired and the franchiser's transition is complete, treating the faithful agent duty as binding on the scope and timing of any disclosure.
Option3
Notify Engineer A of both the new engagement relationship and the preliminary findings of the design review, on the rationale that Engineer A's full opportunity to respond to technical concerns requires knowledge of the review's substance, not merely its existence.
Role
