What is wrong with the scenario where MREC's hearing panel reviewed Rachel's complaint against David?

The scenario highlights an important detail about the structure of the hearing panels that review complaints against real estate licensees under the jurisdiction of the Maryland Real Estate Commission (MREC). When it states that hearing panels have three members, it is essential to understand that this is actually a correct assertion about how such panels are organized.

In Maryland, MREC does indeed convene panels to address complaints, and these panels typically consist of three members. This structure is intended to ensure a fair and balanced consideration of both sides of the complaint, promoting thorough deliberation and more equitable outcomes.

Selecting this option implies a misunderstanding of the established norm regarding the composition of the hearing panels — thus indicating that the composition being referenced is, in fact, not the issue requiring attention in Rachel's case against David. The focus should instead lie on identifying specific procedural errors or limitations in the complaint process or representation that might arise in other options presented.

Understanding this context is crucial for recognizing why the other choices may depict scenarios that inaccurately reflect MREC's policies or procedural norms regarding consumer complaints and representation during hearings.
