Practice question
A principal relies on a past decision finding its contractor legitimate for a different employee and supplies a registration certificate. The worker now before the tribunal presents materially different facts of control and deployment. Which assessment follows Conjusta?
- The earlier case conclusively determines every worker's later relationship.
- The tribunal must assess this relationship's distinct facts; neither the past classification nor registration alone is dispositive.
- Different employee facts must always be ignored.
- Registration makes the earlier case a universal legislative rule.
- The worker can prevail without any factual examination.
