First officer of a learjet 55 (LR55) continued a charter trip assignment against his belief that he would go over his duty time limitations due to a WX delay even though he would not go over 10 hours of flight time. The captain and operator representative advised him that he would be legal.

Narrative:
Due to WX delay on our last leg, even though I did not agree with captain's interpretation of far, we completed the trip going beyond the 14 hour duty limit. I told the captain that that rule only pertains to flight time and not duty time. After pressure from captain and company, I decided to go ahead and finish the trip. Please send me the right interpretation so in future cases I will have a neutral interpretation.
