Paragraph 90 ExpensesI1

England and Wales

(1)

Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, the undertaker is liable to make good, or, if the protected person so decides, to repay to the protected person the reasonable expenses and costs (including without limitation legal and professional fees) reasonably incurred by the protected person in, or in connection with—

(a)

the inspection, removal and relaying or replacing, alteration or protection of any apparatus or the construction of any new apparatus under any provision of this Part (including any costs or compensation paid in connection with the acquisition of rights or land or the exercise of statutory powers for such apparatus);

(b)

the cutting off of any apparatus from any other apparatus, or the making safe of any redundant apparatus in consequence of the exercise by the undertaker of any power under this Order;

(c)

the survey of any land, apparatus or works, the inspection, superintendence and monitoring of works or the installation or removal of any temporary works reasonably necessary in consequence of the exercise by the undertaker of any power under this Order;

(d)

the preparation and completion of any deeds of transfer where the apparatus is abandoned rather than removed; and

(e)

any other work or thing rendered reasonably necessary in consequence of the exercise by the undertaker of any power under this Order,

within a reasonable time of being notified by the protected person that it has incurred such expenses.

(2)

If in accordance with the provisions of this Part, apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions and the placing of apparatus of that type or capacity or of those dimensions or the placing of apparatus at that depth, as the case may be, is not agreed by the undertaker or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration in accordance with article 50 (arbitration) to be necessary, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under this Part exceeding that which would have been involved if the apparatus placed had been of the existing type, capacity or dimensions, or at the existing depth, as the case may be, the amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to the protected person by virtue of paragraph 91(1) shall be reduced by the amount of that excess.

(3)

For the purposes of paragraph 91(2) an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus shall not be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus.
