Definition
Engineer B's peer review findings were subject to a confidentiality obligation to the Owner, limiting disclosure to third parties, but this confidentiality constraint did not eliminate Engineer B's overriding obligations where safety findings required broader disclosure.
Properties

Case context
Engineer B was retained by the Owner to conduct a peer review under terms that included confidentiality to the Owner. This created a constraint on disclosure of review findings, but the constraint was defeasible in the event that safety-critical findings required escalation beyond the client relationship.
