The peer reviewer will report to, and advise, Cavendish.
All reviewers are under an obligation to keep information confidential.
A copy of the report is sent to the author for his or her consideration. Cavendish is conscious of academic differences of opinion and the issuing of the report will not mean that the author must accept every point in the report. Rather, the author will be asked to consider and respond to each point. Again, these will be minor in substance, but the author will be asked to consider the alternative view. If the author maintains the view expressed, Cavendish will accept this.
