She is 70 and crippled with RA. The way they used to handle this was to decree the file open and if the person reapplied then and only then would they have a board hearing. At least that's how they handled the case of a fellow who was testifying in some chicken trials and the banks filed against him. Once he saw the complaint he resigned his reciprocal license. So the board took no action other than put him on notice he would face this action if he reapplied.
I read the letter and it was odd. It said there were some weaknesses they noted that " might be violations of USPAP" - didn't specify what but noted they were concerned over the GLA error exceeding 50 SF but concurred it didn't impact the value but to settle it they would suspend her license 2 years. No fine. This apparently for failing to respond with the workfile. I told her to sign it and go on. It was the first complaint they had in her 25 year career.
Could the HO sue? Sure. But with the board concurring with her value, how would it go anywhere? She didn't quit because of the complaint. She quit because she is physically worn out, her husband is disabled, and the license expired and she choose not to renew. Notice of the complaint came after the license expired but was in the states hand before it expired, they sat on it a few weeks, and was over an appraisal from 2017 and was the first time she had heard a peep out of it.
