Paragraph 160 Damage to apparatus: costs, losses, etc.I1
England and Wales
Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of the construction of any of the authorised works any damage is caused to any apparatus (other than apparatus the repair of which is not reasonably necessary in view of its intended removal for the purposes of those works) or property of SSW or there is any interruption in any service provided or in the supply of any goods by SSW, Sunnica must—
bear and pay the cost reasonably incurred by SSW in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and
make reasonable compensation to SSW for any other expenses, loss, damages, penalty or costs incurred by SSW, by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption.
Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) imposes any liability on Sunnica with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the act, neglect or default of SSW, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.
SSW must give Sunnica reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise is to be made without the consent of Sunnica (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and in the event of any dispute to be settled by arbitration in accordance with article 38 (arbitration).
