Indemnity

88.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of the carrying out of any specified works authorised by this Part or in consequence of the construction, use, maintenance or failure of any of the authorised development within 250 metres of the perimeter of the Rhyl Flats Lease Area by or on behalf of the undertaker or in consequence of any act or default of the undertaker (or any person employed or authorised by it) in the course of carrying out any specified works (including without limitation specified works carried out by the undertaker under this Part), there is any subsidence resulting from any of these specified works, or any damage is caused to any apparatus or property of the Company, or as consequence of the specified works, there is any interruption or reduction in any electricity generated by the Company, or the Company becomes liable to pay any amount to any third party, the undertaker will—

(a) bear and pay on demand accompanied by an invoice or claim from the Company the cost reasonably and properly incurred by the Company in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and

(b) indemnify the Company for any other expenses, loss, demands, proceedings, damages, claims, penalty or costs reasonably and properly incurred by or recovered from the Company, by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption or the Company becoming liable to any third party as aforesaid other than arising from any default by the Company,

provided that at all times the Company will be under an obligation to take reasonable steps to mitigate its loss.

(2) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by the Company on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with a plan or method statement approved by the Company or in accordance with any requirement of the Company as a consequence of the carrying out of any specified works or under its supervision does not (unless sub-paragraph (3) applies), excuse the undertaker from liability under the provisions of this paragraph unless the Company fails to carry out and execute the works properly with due care and attention and in a skilful and workmanlike manner or in a manner that does not materially accord with the approved plan or as otherwise agreed between the undertaker and the Company.

(3) Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) will impose any liability on the undertaker in respect of—

(a) any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the neglect or default of the Company, its officers, employees, contractors or agents;

(b) any indirect or consequential loss of any third party (including but not limited to loss of use, revenue, profit, contract, production, increased cost of working or business interruption) arising from any such damage or interruption, which is not reasonably foreseeable.

(4) The Company must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any claim or demand and no settlement, admission of liability or compromise or demand, unless payment is required in connection with a statutory compensation scheme, is to be made without first consulting the undertaker and considering its representation.

(5) The Company must, in respect of any matter covered by the indemnity given by the undertaker in this paragraph, at all times act reasonably and in the same manner as it would as if settling third party claims on its own behalf from its own funds.
