Paragraph 9
Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of the construction of any specified work, 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 WPD, or there is any interruption in any service provided, or in the supply of any goods by, WPD, the undertaker is to—
bear and pay the cost reasonably incurred by WPD in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and
make reasonable compensation to WPD for any other expenses, loss, damages, penalty or costs incurred by WPD, by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption.
Nothing in sub-paragraph (l) imposes any liability on the undertaker with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the act, neglect or default of WPD, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.
WPD must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise is to be made without the consent of the undertaker which, if it withholds such consent, is to have the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand.
