31.12  Obligation to discuss/mitigate24

If the circumstances described in clause 31.11 arise:

(a)  in circumstances where there are more Relevant Employees than shown on the Final Employee List, then the parties shall discuss the implications for the provision of the Services; and

(b)  the Service Provider and the relevant sub-contractor shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any additional costs and any adjustment to the Service Payment shall be calculated as if they had done so.
