1 Del. Admin. Code § 602 § 8.0
Appointment of Panel
Operative Text
8.1 In the absence of an election to proceed with judicial determination pursuant to Section 4612 of the Act, the Chairperson or designee shall promptly appoint a panel of three (3) Commissioners, one of whom shall be designated as the Panel Chair. 8.2 The Panel shall have all the powers of the Commission with respect to matters before it.
Under 1 Del. Admin. Code 602 § 8.0, when a party does not choose to have a dispute resolved through the courts, the Chairperson of the Commission (or a designee) is required to promptly form a three-member panel of Commissioners, one of whom serves as Panel Chair. Once appointed, this panel holds the same authority as the full Commission for the matters it is assigned to hear. This structure provides an administrative pathway for resolving disputes outside of judicial proceedings.

Under 1 Del. Admin. Code 602 § 8.0, if a matter proceeds through the administrative route rather than judicial determination, a landlord or property manager can expect their case to be heard by a three-Commissioner panel appointed by the Chairperson. Compliant operators generally cooperate with the panel's proceedings, recognizing that the panel carries the full authority of the Commission. Familiarity with this appointment process helps property owners understand the administrative forum in which their matter will be decided.

Under 1 Del. Admin. Code 602 § 8.0, tenants whose disputes are handled administratively rather than through the courts have their cases heard by a three-member panel of Commissioners with the full powers of the Commission. This means the panel can take the same actions the full Commission could take regarding the matter at hand. Tenants who want to understand how this panel process works or how it may apply to their situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the Commission's procedural rules.
