(a) Notwithstanding the issue of a Performance Certificate, the Contractor shall be responsible for remedying at its cost and expense any Latent Defect, as well as any damage to the Works caused by such Latent Defect, which appears or occurs at any time during the Latent Defect Period. The Employer's Representative shall give the Contractor written notice of any such Latent Defect or damage.(b) The Employer shall afford the Contractor such access to the Permanent Works as may be reasonable in all the circumstances for such purposes. The Contractor shall remedy such Latent Defect or damage as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Contractor fails to remedy any Latent Defect or damage within a reasonable time, a date may be fixed by (or on behalf of) the Employer, on or by which the Latent Defect or damage is to be remedied. The Contractor shall be given reasonable notice of this date. If the Contractor fails to remedy the Latent Defect or damage by this notified date the Employer may carry out the work himself or by others, in a reasonable manner and at the Contractor's cost (but the Contractor shall have no responsibility for this work) and the Contractor shall pay to the Employer the costs reasonably incurred by the Employer in remedying the Latent Defect or damage.(c) This Sub-Clause does not relieve the Contractor of any of, or reduce, its warranties, obligations or warranties under any applicable Laws.
