When friends fall out

Article Abstract:

It proved extremely difficult to obtain compensation from Honeywell for additional costs incurred on a contract at the Canary Wharf development in London, England, according to Inserco Company Secretary John Gilliham. The electrical contractor has eventually succeeded in its claim for more than 500,000 pounds sterling, but the legal battle has been very stressful and protracted. Indeed, Gilliham's younger brother committed suicide in 1994, as a result of depression allegedly made worse by the case. Gilliham feels bitter about being forced to take legal action against Honeywell, with which his company had worked for many years.

Digging up the dirt

Article Abstract:

Developers are often reluctant to use the services of archaeologists, according to Angus Stephenson, project manager at the Museum of London's Archaeological Service. He has worked on projects including Heathrow Terminal 5 and the Royal Opera House, and is currently involved in a contract in Abu Dhabi. He is pragmatic about archaeological treasures being buried under new buildings, but would be very interested in digging up archaeological remains which are known to exist in parts of London, England.
