VARIATIONS AND CHANGES. 19.1 The Partners recognise that it is impracticable to make provision for every contingency which may arise during the course of this Agreement and they declare it to be their intention that this Agreement shall operate between them with fairness, in good faith and without detriment to the interest of any of them and that if, in the course of the performance of this Agreement, unfairness to any of them does or may result then the others shall use reasonable endeavours to agree upon such action as to be necessary to remove the cause or causes of such unfairness. 19.2 In the event of a Change in Law which impacts on the Agreement, the Head of Adoption will report to the Partnership Board on the effect of that change and confirm that all necessary steps have been taken to ensure that the Services are provided in accordance with the Law. If the event that a Change in Law impacts on the Services, the Head of Adoption will work with the other Partners to agree any necessary changes to the Services and to mitigate the effects on the Services cost. Any changes to the Services costs will be agreed in accordance with Schedule 5 (Financial Protocol). 19.3 Where the Partners request a change to this Agreement or to any of the Schedules, the Partnership Board shall discuss the change which shall result in any one of the following: the change is not agreed, and no further action is taken; or a change is agreed by unanimous decision of the Partnership Board, ratified by each Partner (where required) and the change is implemented. 19.4 Without prejudice to Clause 19.5, where a change is agreed in accordance with clause 19.3.2, the change shall be recorded in writing and signed by all the parties. Any cost implications as a result of the change shall be dealt with in accordance with Schedule 5 (Financial Protocol). 19.5 For the avoidance of doubt review clauses set out in Schedule 5 (Financial Protocol) relating to matters reserved for Partnership Board decisions shall not constitute a change under Clause 19.3 and the minutes of the Partnership Board Meeting where such decisions are taken shall be sufficient evidence of the Partners agreement.
