Section 781
Disposition versions
Not in force
781. The Government is subrogated by operation of law to any user with respect to any right of action against a third person up to the cost of the services it has assumed following injury caused through the fault of that third person. Any claim by the Government must be notified to the third person by way of a notice stating the amount of the debt and the reasons for which the debt is due.
In the case of a common fault, the amount of such subrogation is subject to reduction in the same proportion as the user’s remedy.
The Minister has the power to transact on any claim arising from this section and may delegate that power.
The rights acquired by the effect of the subrogation provided for in this section are part of the domain of the State from the time they arise and are subject to the rules applicable to rights which form part of the domain of the State; however, the resulting right of action is prescribed by three years.
