Article 52 Quorum

If, after the commencement of any hearing, the chairman is unable to continue the President may appoint either of the remaining two members to chair the Tribunal; and in that case the Tribunal shall consist of the remaining two members for the rest of the proceedings.

If the person appointed under paragraph (1) is not a member of the panel of chairmen, the President may appoint himself or some other suitably qualified person to attend the proceedings and advise the remaining members on any questions of law arising.

For the purposes of paragraph (2), a person is “suitably qualified” if he is, or is qualified for appointment as, a member of the panel of chairmen.

If, after the commencement of any hearing, a member of the Tribunal (other than its chairman) is unable to continue, the President may decide that the Tribunal shall consist of the remaining two members for the rest of the proceedings.

Where in pursuance of this rule the Tribunal consists of two members, a decision of the Tribunal must be unanimous.
