Practice question
A farm’s only proved control is inspection of the harvested output. The claimant asks the tribunal to infer control of the harvesting methods solely because the farm owns the crop, without further substantial evidence. What caution follows Hacienda San Isidro?
- Ownership and output review alone do not supply the missing method-control finding
- Every crop owner is necessarily employer of every paid visitor
- Output inspection is always conclusive method supervision
- The claimant’s duration of service eliminates the need for proof
- The right of control may never be examined
