(10) For the purpose of paragraph 10(a), any modifications to Network Rail’s apparatus under this paragraph are deemed to be protective works referred to in that sub-paragraph.
(11) In relation to any dispute arising under this paragraph, the reference in article 41 (arbitration) to an arbitrator to be agreed must be read as a reference to an arbitrator being a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology to be agreed.
