DP2

Must Engineer A cooperate with and refrain from obstructing the Owner's legitimately commissioned peer review of the second tower designs, particularly given that significant design errors were already discovered in Engineer A's first tower work?

After being notified that a peer review of the second tower designs has been commissioned — following the discovery of significant design errors in Engineer A's first tower work — Engineer A objects and refuses to consent to the peer review. This decision point addresses whether Engineer A may ethically refuse to cooperate with the legitimately commissioned peer review, and whether Engineer A's prior design errors independently compel facilitation of the review as a matter of professional accountability and public safety.
