Practice question

- Every part of the owner's statement is correct.
- The order is an interim administrative measure; final liability and sanction still require the applicable adjudicatory determination.
- A suspension is automatically a judicial acquittal.
- The order can never restrict any recruitment activity.
- No administrative investigation can proceed unless workers file a separate criminal case.
