A poisoned chalice - 2005 - Building 270(8377) 15 April 2005, 58(1) .
Describes the increasingly common occurrance of contractors offering to accelerate work on a delayed job in order to achieve completion earlier than would otherwise be the case. Warns that these agreements are fraught with difficulty as the employer will usually forgo any claims it might have had for liquidated damages for delays beyond the original completion date.
