Case context
Franchiser retained Engineer B to review pending design concerns while Engineer A's contract was still active; franchiser explicitly instructed Engineer B not to disclose the engagement to Engineer A; Engineer B notified Engineer A anyway.
Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer B
Obligation statement
Engineer B was obligated to notify Engineer A of the peer review engagement despite the franchiser's explicit instruction to maintain confidentiality, because the client's direction to conduct a covert review of an active incumbent engineer's work does not override the collegial duty to notify the engineer whose active work is under independent evaluation.
Temporal scope
Prior to or immediately upon commencing the peer review of Engineer A's active design work
Source Evidence
Source text
