The Court held that ss.44(2) and (3) are procedural in character and do not displace the substantive right created by s.44(1) read with s.43(1); accordingly the employee's cause of action against the insurer accrued on quantification of damages and limitation ran from that date, so the action was not statute‑barred; interest and costs were held to be quantifiable and within the insurer's liability.
