In some jurisdictions during civil trials a jury can return a verdict even if they are not unaminous.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.42.86.27 (talkcontribs)

Quite, and "tribunal" can refer to any judicial body before which one appears, including a single member. I appear in front of tribunals with only one member frequently. So, pretty unhelpful a definition and wrong on almost every count. What's right? Francis Davey 11:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited the article to try to give an accurate picture of what a tribunal is. I've deleted all the material about unanimity. Many courts also have more than one member sitting on them. I really don't see why any discussion of a rule of majority should appear here. Francis Davey 15:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
the issue is that the entire article is of poor quality. The concept of tribunal exists independantly of the specific instances mentioned in this article, and essentialy represents trial by a panel of judges, without a jury component. For instance, all international courts are and have been "tribunals" to the best of my knowledge. occasionaly they may be a single judge, but this is more properly "trial by judge". . . Tribunals have been used in ancient rome, israel, and in modern times by militaries all over the globe, as well as in international usage. 74.138.206.229 (talk) 22:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Republic Tribunals supplement and complement Democratic parliament

[edit]

Tribunals are to public-affairs Activists what Parliament is to public-elected Politicians. Both are equally important. 110.225.238.185 (talk) 19:44, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
