The court construed s.25(1)(b) as wide enough to permit the employer to recover from the tortfeasor the employee's costs of the District Court compensation proceedings paid by the employer, but not the employer's own costs of those proceedings; additionally the High Court has jurisdiction to hear the statutory indemnity claim under s.25.
