Guam § 9137 - Substitution of Carrier for Employer.

§ 9137. Substitution of Carrier for Employer.

In any case where the employer is not a self-insurer, in

order that the liability for compensation imposed by this Title

may be most effectively discharged by the employer, and in

order that the administration of this Title in respect of such

liability may be facilitated, the Commission shall by regulation

provide for the discharge, by the carrier for such employer, of

such obligations and duties of the employer in respect of such

liability, imposed by this Title upon the employer, as it considers

proper in order to effectuate the provisions of this Law. For such

purposes (1) notice to or knowledge of the employer of the

occurrence of the injury shall be notice to or knowledge of the

carrier, (2) jurisdiction of the employer by the Commissioner,

the Commission, or any court under this Title shall be

jurisdiction of the carrier, and (3) any requirement by the

Commissioner, the Commission, or any court under any

compensation order, finding, or decision shall be binding upon

the carrier in the same manner and to the same extent as upon the

employer.
