[...] où siègent tous les membres d'un corps. On retrouve très souvent dans les textes de lois les expressions consacrées "comité plénier" et "comité général". Toutefois, selon les dictionnaires généraux, un "comité" se compose de quelques personnes prises dans un corps plus vaste. Il semble donc contradictoire de parler de "comité plénier ou général" lorsqu'il s'agit non pas de quelques personnes mais de la réunion de tous les membres d'un corps. 1, record 3, French, - assembl%C3%A9e%20pl%C3%A9ni%C3%A8re
