Section 87

Where as respects any road it appears that, having regard to the average expense of repairing that road or other similar roads in the neighbourhood, extraordinary expenses have been incurred in repairing that road by reason of the damage caused by excessive weight passing along that road or by other extraordinary traffic thereon, the Government or the appropriate authority which has incurred such expenses may recover from any person by or in consequence of whose order or act the traffic has been carried on or conducted, or from the owner of the vehicles constituting the traffic, the amount of such expenses as may be proved to the satisfaction of the court having cognizance of the case to have been incurred by reason of damage arising from such extraordinary weight or traffic.
