Accusations of impartiality

It is not whether the question originated from someone who is likely to be the Contractor, or from someone who is likely to be the Employer/Client. One should bear in mind that serious allegations are being made, which may not be valid. If the question seems to have originated from a Contractor, the appropriate course of action would be for a very, very senior member to request a meeting with a very, very senior member of the Employer, so that the allegations may be discussed in confidence. If the question seems to have originated from an Employer (which seems unlikely), if he is a member of a Member Association, the Association would be consulted. The Contractor's Contract MAY (or may not) constrain the Employer from replacing the Engineer. In either case, NO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN WITH FIDIC, because the Engineer is not a member of FIDIC as such. If an IFI (e.g., the World Bank) is providing funds for the project, they could also be appraised of the situation. - See more at: http://fidic.org/node/915#sthash.H0GkqEib.dpuf
