Majority required for decisions

The decisions and rulings of the Tribunal shall be decided by simple majority of those voting. If no majority is reached, a new voting round shall take place with two alternate justices acting as supernumeraries and where these justices are not replacing presiding justices or those replacing presiding justices.

In any case, to obtain this majority, when the decision contains several interdependent points, casting a dissenting vote in the first round shall not authorize the dissenting member voting thus to refrain from concurring with the decision of the other members. When there is only one dissenting member, that member must concur with any of the other opinions in order to constitute the majority, without this concurrence resulting in any liability.
