KCC 993/2013
This case involved whether an insurance company was able to take a claim against a man's employers as they had already paid his heirs compensation and received authority from them to make the claim.
Background
The court concluded that the heirs of a deceased man had received the full value of compensation from the relevant insurance company for their father's injuries.
Decision
The court said that the insurance company had the right to claim the value of compensation from the company for which the deceased man was working. The court said that the company was obliged to pay the value of compensation to the insurance company because the latter had already received authorization from the heirs to make their claim. The court said that the company's defence in this regard was irrelevant.
The court dismissed the appeal
