Definition: An allegation or formal statement that a person has violated a duty, rule, or law. In licensing, a complaint can begin regulatory review.
Example
A seller submits a written complaint with documents describing alleged false statements by a licensee.
Keep the distinction clear
A complaint alone does not establish a violation. Legal sufficiency, investigation, and any formal charges or hearing are separate steps.
