60 Insurer to indemnify employer
(1) The compulsory insurance policy must provide that the insurer will
indemnify the employer against any compensation the employer is
liable to pay under the Act.
(2) However, the compulsory insurance policy must provide that the
insurer will not indemnify the employer for any amount for which the
Act expressly states that the employer is not to be indemnified.
Note The employer is liable to pay any amount incurred between the time by
which the employer must tell the insurer that an injury has happened and
the time the employer tells the insurer that the injury has happened and
may not be indemnified by the insurer for the amount (see Act, s 95).
