Confidentiality – Becoming Aware of Technical Information Important to the Public Health and Safety
Situation:
Engineer A performs an investigation of a recent structural failure in connection with services provided to Attorney B for Client C. Engineer A signs a confidentiality agreement by which Engineer A is prohibited from disclosing any of the conclusions reached in connection with the cause of the structural failure without the consent of Client C.
Early during the litigation process, Attorney B negotiates a settlement agreement for Client C. As part of the settlement agreement, Attorney B and Client C agree that all investigative reports, including the work performed by Engineer A, will be sealed and remain strictly confidential forever. Engineer A believes that his investigation has identified a significant technical issue that, if communicated more broadly in the technical literature, could prevent future structural failures.
