16.3.5  Acceleration

54  In some jurisdictions, Compensation will be calculated in manner consistent with the principles set out in Chapter 18 (Compensation payable), whereby government will pay for the private party's incremental costs (but with no allowance for a profit margin by the private party). In other jurisdictions, Compensation for acceleration will be calculated on the basis that the acceleration is a Modification (which may include an allowance for profit margin).
