A commonly used tactic or "legal fraud" in construction. Typically a constructor enters a stipulated
price contract with a client. The contract is then manipulated to award additional funds to the constructor, usually placing a financial strain so immense on the client that the client must
break the contract with the constructor and is still bound by the agreement to pay in full as
well as any extras from contractual manipulations. Typically any
work performed while the client is unknowingly being "S&T'D," is of lowest quality and and a possible hazard to public safety.
