5.—(1) The undertaker, in the case of the powers conferred by this Order will so exercise those powers as not to obstruct or render less convenient the access to any apparatus without the written consent of the protected person and, if by reason of the exercise of those powers any damage to any apparatus (other than apparatus the repair of which is not reasonably necessary in view of its intended removal or abandonment) or property of any protected person or any interruption in the supply of electricity, gas or water, as the case may be, by the protected person is caused, the undertaker will bear and pay on demand the cost reasonably incurred by that protected person in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and, subject to sub-paragraph ‎(2), will—

(a) make compensation to the undertaker for any loss sustained by it; and

(b) reimburse the protected person against all reasonably made claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages and expenses which may be made or taken against or recovered from or incurred by that protected person, by reason of any such damage or interruption.

(2) Nothing in this paragraph will impose any liability on the undertaker with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that such damage or interruption is attributable to the act, neglect or default of a protected person or its contractors or workmen; and the protected person will give to the undertaker reasonable notice of any claim or demand as aforesaid and no settlement or compromise thereof will be made without first consulting the undertaker and giving it an opportunity to make representations as to the claim or demand.
