If several judges consider the case, judgment shall be rendered unanimously or by majority opinion. The minority shall be the first to enter its opinion in the record. The majority shall explain in the record its point of view in response to the view of the minority. If no majority is reached or if opinions diverge into more than two, the chief judge shall assign a judge to support one of the opinions so that a majority is reached for judgment. If this proves unattainable, the Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council shall assign a judge for such purpose.
