The Court held that s.14(1)'s 24‑month limitation applies to proceedings against employers for determination of compensation but not to proceedings by an employee against an insurer under s.44; accordingly an insurer remains statutorily liable to the employee notwithstanding that it has already paid the employer, and the appeal is allowed and remitted to assess the sum (and interest) and costs payable by the insurer.
