Making good of detriment; compensation and indemnity, etc.

19.—(1) If any detriment is caused by the construction or failure of the specified works or the protective works if carried out by the Authority, the Authority (if so required by CRT) must make good such detriment and must pay to CRT all reasonable expenses to which CRT may be put, and compensation for any loss which CRT may sustain, in making good or otherwise by reason of the detriment.

(2) The Authority is responsible for and must make good to CRT all costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Schedule which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by CRT—

(a) by reason of the construction of a specified work or a protective work or the failure of such a work; or

(b) by reason of any act or omission of the Authority or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon the construction of a specified work or a protective work,

and subject to sub-paragraph (4) the Authority must fully and effectively indemnify and hold harmless CRT from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b).

(3) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by CRT on behalf of the Authority or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under the engineer’s supervision or in accordance with any directions or awards of an arbitrator does not (if it was done without negligence on the part of CRT or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse the Authority from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.

(4) CRT must give the Authority reasonable notice of any such claim or demand as referred to in sub-paragraph (2) and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of the Authority (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
