(2) Where, in pursuance of an arrangement made under this section, any work or thing is done to the satisfaction of the responsible authority by the owner or the occupier of any structure or any land and the circumstances are such that the responsible authority, if they had done such work or thing themselves, would not have been entitled to recover under this Part of this Act the expenses incurred by them in doing the same, the responsible authority may pay to such owner or such occupier (as the case may be) a reasonable sum in respect of the expenses incurred by him in so doing such work or thing.
