Case context
The organized peer review program context, combined with the signed confidentiality agreement and the discovered safety code violations, creates a structured sequential duty for Engineer A that balances collegial process with paramount public safety obligations.
Compliance status
unclear

Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to follow a sequential escalation pathway: first discussing the discovered safety code violations with Engineer B, then — if unresolved — informing Engineer B that notifying proper authorities is the only remaining alternative, and finally proceeding with that notification, notwithstanding the confidentiality agreement.
Temporal scope
Sequentially from discovery of violations through resolution or external reporting
