any subsidence resulting from any of these works, any damage is caused to any apparatus or alternative apparatus (other than apparatus the repair of which is not reasonably necessary in view of its intended removal for the purposes of the authorised development) or property of RRRL, or there is any interruption in any service provided, or in the supply of any goods, by RRRL, or RRRL becomes liable to pay any amount to any third party, the undertaker will:– 

(a) bear and pay on demand the cost reasonably incurred by RRRL in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and 

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

(2) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by RRRL on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with a plan approved by RRRL or in accordance with any requirement of RRRL or under its supervision will not (unless sub-paragraph (3) applies), excuse the undertaker from liability under the provisions of this sub-paragraph (1) unless RRRL fails to carry out and execute the works properly with due care and attention and in a skilful and workman like manner or in a manner that does not accord with the approved plan or as otherwise agreed between the undertaker and RRRL. 

(3) Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) shall 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 RRRL, its officers, servants, contractors or agents; and 

(b) any part of the authorised development and/or any other works authorised by this Part of this Schedule carried out by RRRL as an assignee, transferee or lessee of a person with the benefit of the Order pursuant to section 156 of the Planning Act 2008 or article 8 (consent to transfer benefit of the Order) subject to the proviso that once such works become apparatus, any part of the authorised development yet to be executed and not falling within this sub-section 3(b) will be subject to the full terms of this Part of this Schedule including this paragraph 14. 

(4) RRRL must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any such third party claim or demand and no settlement or compromise must, unless payment is required in connection with a statutory compensation scheme, be made without first consulting the undertaker and considering their representations. 

(5) RRRL must use its reasonable endeavours to mitigate in whole or in part and to minimise any costs, expenses, loss, demands, and penalties to which the indemnity under this paragraph 14 applies. If requested to do so by the undertaker, RRRL shall provide an explanation of how the claim has been minimised. The undertaker shall only be liable under this paragraph 14 for claims reasonably incurred by RRRL. 

15. —(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of any works carried out by RRRL pursuant to this Part of this Schedule or in consequence of the use, maintenance or failure of any part of the RRRL facility by or on behalf of RRRL or in consequence of any act or default of RRRL (or any person employed or authorised by him) in the course of carrying out such works, use or maintenance, including without limitation works carried out by RRRL under this Part of this Schedule or any subsidence resulting from any of these works, any damage is caused to any part of the authorised development or property of the undertaker, or there is any interruption in any service provided, or in the supply of any goods, by the undertaker, or the undertaker becomes liable to pay any amount to any third party, RRRL will:– 

(a) bear and pay on demand the cost reasonably incurred by the undertaker in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and 

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