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 works) or property of a statutory undertaker, or there is any interruption in any service provided, or in the supply of any goods, by any statutory undertaker, or the statutory undertaker becomes liable to pay any amount to any third party, the undertaker must—

(2) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by a statutory undertaker on behalf of the undertaker, in accordance with a plan approved by a statutory undertaker, in accordance with any requirement of a statutory undertaker or under the supervision of the statutory undertaker does not, subject to sub-paragraph (3), excuse the undertaker from liability under sub-paragraph (1).
(3) Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) impose any liability on the undertaker with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the neglect or default of a statutory undertaker, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.
(4) A statutory undertaker must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any claim or demand, and no settlement or compromise may be made without first consulting the undertaker and considering its representations.
