Article 19 Temporary closure of part of Oxford Canal

In this article “the waterway” means so much of the Oxford Canal and the towing path, numbered 63, 64, 65, 66 and 67 on the deposited plans, in the borough of Rugby in the county of Warwickshire as lies within the Order limits.

Network Rail, during and for the purpose of the construction of Work No. 12, may temporarily close and de-water any part of the waterway and divert barges and other boats from any part of the waterway.

During the period of the closure referred to in paragraph (2), all rights of navigation along, and obligations of the British Waterways Board to maintain for navigation, the waterway or part thereof so closed shall be suspended and unenforceable against the British Waterways Board.

Any person who suffers loss by the suspension of any right under this article shall be entitled to be paid by Network Rail compensation, to be determined in the case of dispute by the tribunal.
