7 The Corporation may, for any purpose related to any liability or potential liability pursuant to section 166 of the Act— (a) take over and control any proceedings in respect of a claim on behalf of the employer; or (b) conduct and defend any proceedings, and, if appropriate, admit liability, in the name of, and on behalf of, the employer; or (c) settle any claim or proceedings against the employer; or (d) issue and conduct proceedings in the name of the employer against any other person who may also be liable in respect of the work injury. 8 To the extent that the Corporation acts on behalf of the employer in any proceedings, the employer is indemnified by the Corporation against all costs and expenses of or incidental to the proceedings. 9 If at the time of the occurrence of the work injury other insurance also covers the liability in respect of which the Corporation provides insurance pursuant to section 166 of the Act, the Corporation is only liable to pay a pro rata share of any amount recoverable from the employer in respect of the injury (and may, if it is appropriate, exercise a right of contribution against any other insurer).
