- Case number
- DCCJ3525/2010
Because the insurer was obliged by section 10 of the Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Ordinance to pay the employees' compensation claim and related costs, and because the employer's statutory right and contribution principles permit recovery of sums paid including costs, the insured (who breached policy conditions) is required under clause 14 of the policy to repay the amounts the insurer was obliged to pay; accordingly the insurer succeeds in recovering $266,314.29 plus interest and costs.
