Practice question
An agency governed by Book VII revokes a continuing business license solely on an untested complaint and administrative convenience. It gives neither notice nor hearing.

- The revocation omits the required notice and hearing under the stated default rule
- Administrative convenience is expressly an unlimited exception
- Any complaint conclusively proves a willful violation
- A competitor's preference replaces the licensee's hearing
- The agency's power to license necessarily removes every procedural limit
