Paragraph 45 Making good of detriment; compensation and indemnity, etc.I1

England and Wales

(1)

The undertaker must be responsible for and make good to the Trust all costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule which may be occasioned to and reasonably incurred by the Trust—

(a)

by reason of any detriment caused by the construction of a specified work or a protective work or the failure of such a work; or

(b)

by reason of any act of omission of the undertaker or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon the construction of a specified work or protective work; and subject to sub-paragraph (2) the undertaker must effectively indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with any of the matters referred to in Part 4 of this Schedule save that the Trust will not be entitled to recover any consequential losses which are not reasonably foreseeable.

(2)

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 neglect, act or default of the Trust, its officers, servants, contractors or agents. The fact that any act or thing may be done by the Trust on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under the engineer's supervision or in accordance with any directions or awards of an arbitrator must not (if it was done without negligence on the part of the Trust or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse the undertaker from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.

(3)

The Trust must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any such claim or demand as aforesaid and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of the undertaker.
