When the members of an appellate court cannot reach full agreement, a split decision occurs. A split decision is distinct from a unanimous decision in which all the judges join in agreement. In a split decision, the will of the majority of the judges is binding, and one member of the majority delivers the opinion of the court itself. One or more members of the minority can also write a dissent, which is a critical explanation of the minority's reasons for not joining in the majority decision. A court that reaches a split decision is called a divided court. 2, record 1, English, - split%20decision

Lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'unanimité entre les juges d'une haute cour de justice qui statuent sur une cause, c'est l'opinion majoritaire qui est considérée pour rendre la décision. Au Canada, le fait de permettre à la minorité d'exprimer ses opinions divergentes ou sa dissidence, on parle de «décision partagée» comme équivalent de «split decision». 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9cision%20partag%C3%A9e
