The London Overground (Barking Riverside Extension) Order 2017

44.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of the construction, maintenance or failure 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 a specified undertaker, or there is any interruption in any service provided, or in the supply of any goods, by any specified undertaker, TfL must bear and pay the cost reasonably incurred by that specified undertaker in making good such damage or restoring the supply, and must—

(a) make reasonable compensation to that specified undertaker for any other expenses, loss, damages, penalty or costs incurred by the specified undertaker; and

(b) indemnify the specified undertaker against all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages and expenses which may be made or taken against or recovered from, or incurred by, the specified undertaker,

by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption; and the fact that any act or thing may have been done by the specified undertaker on behalf of TfL or in accordance with plans approved by the specified undertaker or in accordance with any requirement of the specified undertaker or under its supervision does not, subject to sub-paragraph (2), excuse TfL from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.

(2) Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) imposes any liability on TfL with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the act, neglect or default of a specified undertaker, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.

(3) A specified undertaker must give TfL reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise is to be made without the consent of TfL, which, if it withholds such consent, has the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand.
