ADM.3:4.4 - Determine whether the condition holds at the requested time

Apply the rule to the facts for the requested time. State whether the relevant condition holds, does not hold, or remains unresolved on the available basis. A supported negative result settles that condition for the stated participants, basis and time. Do not relabel it as unresolved merely because the requested action cannot proceed on that basis. Conversely, an unresolved claim is not a positive or negative finding about the relation merely because the form requires one status value.

For a later history that must distinguish episodes, use the direct same-versus-new-occurrence rule under A.6.REL. The same person and role can participate again after an earlier appointment ended. A new record alone does not establish another episode; a reused identifier alone does not establish continuity.

When only the description was corrected, update the account and retain the correction history needed for its use. A claimed cancellation, suspension or new grant requires the corresponding governing act and conditions.
