56The Court has held, in particular, that an undertaking that has posted an employed worker to the territory of another Member State in order to carry out work there at the premises of another entity must be considered to be the sole employer of that worker, having particular regard to the continuity, for the entire duration of the posting, of the hierarchical relationship between that worker and that employer, so that that work was to be deemed to have been carried out for that undertaking, within the meaning of Article 13(a) of Regulation No 3. The Court stated that that hierarchical relationship resulted from, inter alia, the fact that the undertaking in question paid the worker’s wages and could dismiss him or her on the ground of faults he or she might have committed in the performance of the work at the premises of the entity making use of the work (see, to that effect, judgment of 17 December 1970, Manpower, 35/70, EU:C:1970:120, paragraphs 17, 18 and 20).
