Where an authority other than the Department fails to comply it shall be an offence.
Article 44(1), (3), (4) and (5) places a requirement on an authority carrying out or planning major road works, major bridge works or major transport works and the owners of apparatus which may be affected by those works to identify any measures necessary to protect the apparatus; agree a specification of those measures and by whom they should be taken and to co-ordinate the taking of those measures and the execution of the works.
Any cases of dispute which arise are to be settled by arbitration.
