Source Evidence
Source text
Under these circumstances, the engineer is acting in a dual capacity, but not a divided one.
Text references
Rule 13 is binding in this case and the engineer has a duty because of his dual capacity to avoid prejudicing his advice to the city on the project under consideration because its approval by the city council may lead to his securing a commission for that project.
The client has such a right of review by its own engineer, but it may waive its right, as it has obviously done in this case.
Under these circumstances, the engineer is acting in a dual capacity, but not a divided one.
