The Docklands Light Railway (Woolwich Arsenal Extension) Order 2004

8.—(1) Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Schedule, DLRL shall take all such measures as may be reasonably practicable to prevent any interruption to the free passage of fish in the fishery during the construction of any specified work. E+W

(2) If by reason of—

(a) the construction of any specified work; or

(b) the failure of any such work,

damage to the fishery is caused, or the Agency has reason to expect that such damage may be caused, the Agency may serve notice on DLRL requiring it to take such steps as may be reasonably practicable to make good the damage or, as the case may be, to protect the fishery against such damage.

(3) If, within such time as may be reasonably practicable for that purpose after the receipt of written notice from the Agency of any damage or expected damage to the fishery, DLRL fails to take such steps as are described in sub-paragraph (2), the Agency may take those steps and may recover from DLRL the expense reasonably incurred by it in doing so.

(4) In any case where immediate action by the Agency is reasonably required in order to secure that the risk of damage to the fishery is avoided or reduced, the Agency may take such steps as are reasonable for the purpose, and may recover from DLRL the reasonable cost of so doing provided that a notice specifying those steps is served on DLRL as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Agency has taken, or begun to take, the steps specified in the notice.
