Which phrase describes the panel's discretion when they find probable cause?

To file multiple complaints
To initiate a legal pursuit
To dismiss the case or direct further action
To reinstate the license immediately

The correct answer is: To dismiss the case or direct further action

When a panel finds probable cause in a real estate complaint, it has the discretion to either dismiss the case or direct further action. This ability to choose between these options is based on the circumstances surrounding each case. If the panel believes that the evidence is insufficient to support the complaint, they may opt to dismiss it. Conversely, if they find that there is sufficient evidence indicating wrongdoing, they can decide to take further steps, which may include disciplinary actions or legal proceedings. This discretion allows the panel to weigh the severity and nuances of each situation carefully, ensuring that appropriate measures are taken based on the findings at that stage of the investigative process.
