Where administrative/licensing proceedings are entirely co-extensive with criminal charges and would replicate the criminal inquiry, proceeding with the administrative appeal before the criminal verdict would be an abuse of process; accordingly the Commission must adjourn the Trust's appeal until the related criminal proceedings conclude when the replication and integrity risks outweigh departmental supervisory interests (trial imminent here).
