62.9  Sub-Contractor Claims

Where:-

62.9.1  a Sub-Contractor is entitled to claim any compensation and/or relief from the Contractor under the Sub-Contracts; and

62.9.2  the Contractor subsequently makes a claim against the Authority under this Contract in relation to such compensation and/or relief,

the Authority waives any right to defend the Contractor's claim if such defence is solely on the ground that the Contractor is only required to pay compensation or grant relief to the Sub-Contractor under the Sub-Contracts to the extent that the same is recoverable from the Authority.
