This obligation is extended in certain cases and restricted in others by the provisions of section 73 as to cases where a reinstatement is affected by subsequent works.

so far as an undertaker complies with such a code of practice he shall be taken to comply with his duties under this section; and

b

a failure in any respect to comply with any such code is evidence of failure in that respect to comply with those duties.
