Although an insurer joined under s.43(3) generally has the same rights as the employer to defend, a prior default judgment on liability entered against the employer constrains the insurer's rights in the same proceedings; where judgment on liability stands unchallenged, the insurer joined after that judgment is limited to participating in assessment of compensation. In this case Pearl is therefore limited to assessment of compensation.
