Section 25 must be read as permitting the injured employee to pursue common law damages against a third party and permitting the employer to recover by joining the employee's action or by instituting a separate common law action; it does not authorize an employer to commence a separate employees compensation application against a third party to seek indemnity. Therefore the present application discloses no cause of action and must be struck out.
