A vexatious complaint ... is about intent and may only be determined through an investigation. This investigation would seek to determine if either the complaint was made intentionally for the purpose of vexing and annoying or embarrassing a person or the complaint was not calculated to lead to any practical result; or there is evidence of bad faith on the part of the complainant indicating an intention to mislead or if there is the presence of ill-will.
