Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the employer's claims for internal costs and legal interest against a third-party construction company. The employer argued that its manager incurred significant expenses managing the third party's liability, but the court held that such costs are only compensable if the injured employee could have claimed them from the employer. Since the employee's damages were already transferred to the employer, the internal costs were rejected as non-compensable. Additionally, the claim for legal interest was dismissed due to lack of evidence regarding a commercial agreement.
