Paragraph 84 I1
England, Wales and Scotland
Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of the construction, maintenance, operation or failure of the authorised development any damage is caused to any apparatus or property of National Grid or there is any interruption in any service provided by National Grid or National Grid suffers any loss (including without limitation as a result of the failure by the undertaker to meet its obligations to National Grid under this Part of this Schedule) the undertaker must—
bear and pay the cost reasonably incurred by National Grid in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and
indemnify National Grid against all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages and expenses which may be made against, or recovered from, or incurred by it,
by reason or in consequence of any such damage, interruption or the exercise by the undertaker of the powers conferred by this Order.
Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) imposes any liability on the undertaker with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the act, neglect or default of National Grid, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.
National Grid must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise is to be made without the consent of the undertaker which, if it withholds such consent, has the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand with such assistance from National Grid as may be reasonably necessary.
