Decision question
Should Engineer B treat the peer review findings as fully confidential per client instructions, or recognize that safety-related findings fall outside the permissible scope of confidentiality?
Focus
Engineer B must determine the appropriate scope of confidentiality when conducting the peer review, balancing the client's instructions to limit disclosure against professional duties triggered by discovering design errors.
Option1
Recognize that client confidentiality instructions do not extend to safety-critical design errors, and disclose those findings to appropriate parties even if other review findings remain confidential.
Option2
Treat all peer review findings as confidential per the client agreement, on the basis that the engagement contract defines the scope of disclosure and Engineer B lacks independent authority to override it.
Option3
Decline to continue the peer review engagement if the client's confidentiality instructions would prevent disclosure of safety-relevant findings, thereby avoiding complicity without unilaterally breaching the confidentiality agreement.
Role
