Article 28 Agreements with British Waterways

The undertaker and the Board may enter into and carry into effect agreements with respect to the construction, maintenance, use and operation of the authorised works, or any part of those works, by the Board or by the undertaker, or by the undertaker and the Board jointly.

Any agreement made under paragraph (1) may make provision with respect to any other matters incidental or subsidiary thereto or consequential thereon, including the defraying of, or the making of contributions towards, costs incurred by either party to the agreement.

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), any such agreement may provide for the exercise by the Board, or by the undertaker and the Board jointly, of all or any of the powers of the undertaker with respect to any of the authorised works.

The exercise by the Board, or by the undertaker and the Board jointly, under this article, of any powers with respect to the authorised works, or any part of any of those works, shall be subject to the same provisions in relation to those powers as would apply if those powers were exercised by the undertaker alone.
