Definition: Describing a complaint that contains facts indicating a violation of the governing professional statute or rule, sufficient to justify regulatory consideration.
Example
A complaint identifies specific handling of escrow funds that, if established, would violate a licensing requirement.
Keep the distinction clear
Legal sufficiency is a screening standard, not a finding that the accused actually committed the violation. Evidence and later procedural steps remain necessary.
