The Insurance Court dismissed the insurer's request for contribution to the employee's compensation after the municipality voluntarily paid the benefits. The insurer argued it should share the cost, but the municipality contended it had a direct legal interest in supervising the matter. The court ruled that because the municipality had already paid and held a direct legal interest, the insurance company could not claim contribution from it.
