About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Law Affecting Engineers He who essays to write the law relating to engineers is beset with many difficulties. The statute book is of but little use as a work of reference; for, unlike the lawyer or the doctor, the engineer occupies position recognised by the legislature. The powers and duties of a solicitor are defined by Act of Parliament: he owes fealty to the Incorporated Law Society. The registered medical practitioner is responsible to a statutory body kwn as the General Medical Council. But the engineer is legally beholden to one. How then shall one define what is breach of professional duty on the part of an engineer? The case law of England does t help much in the solution of this question. The engineer seldom figures in the Courts as a litigant. The Law Reports record but few actions for fees; r is it easy to find reports of cases where engineers have been successfully or unsuccessfully charged with negligence. It would seem that, although engineers are daily engaged upon matters which involve ermous sums of money, and which frequently lead to litigation, the personal conduct of the engineer is but seldom called in question. If cases do occur in which the position of the engineer is discussed, they are generally referred to arbitration. The inquiry is then conducted, so far as the law reports are concerned, with closed doors; and permanent or accessible record of the proceedings is preserved. Hence there are grave difficulties to be surmounted by any one who tries to write of the status or legal position of the engineer. In spite of all these difficulties, the author has attempted, in Chaps. I., II., III. and V. of this work, to collect together all that can be said of the status of an engineer; his right to sue for fees; the terms of his employment; and his liability to actions for negligence. He must leave it to his readers to say whether he has succeeded in explaining the legal position of the engineer in his private capacity.
