In law, a majority opinion is a judicial opinion agreed to by more than half of the members of a court. A majority opinion sets forth the decision of the court and an explanation of the rationale behind the court's decision. Normally, appellate courts (or panels) are staffed with an odd number of judges to avoid a tie. Sometimes, and in some jurisdictions, when judicial positions are vacant or a judge has recused themselves from the case, the court may be stuck with a tie, in which case the lower court's decision will be affirmed without comment by an equally divided court.

dbo:abstract
  • In law, a majority opinion is a judicial opinion agreed to by more than half of the members of a court. A majority opinion sets forth the decision of the court and an explanation of the rationale behind the court's decision. Not all cases have a majority opinion. At times, the justices voting for a majority decision (e.g., to affirm or reverse the lower court's decision) may have drastically different reasons for their votes, and cannot agree on the same set of reasons. In that situation, several concurring opinions may be written, none of which is the view of a majority of the members of the court. Therefore, the concurring opinion joined by the greatest number of judges is referred to as the plurality opinion. Normally, appellate courts (or panels) are staffed with an odd number of judges to avoid a tie. Sometimes, and in some jurisdictions, when judicial positions are vacant or a judge has recused themselves from the case, the court may be stuck with a tie, in which case the lower court's decision will be affirmed without comment by an equally divided court. A majority opinion in countries which use the common law system becomes part of the body of case law. (en)
  • 主要意見書(英語:Majority opinion),法律術語,源自英美習慣法。它是法律意見書的一種,當法庭中過半數的成員,同意某種法律意見時,所書寫的法律文書,法庭將會根據此主要意見書來形成判決;這個主要意見書也會成為未來的判例。 但並不是每次的判決都會出現主要意見書,有時,法官把票投給主要判決(例如確認或推翻下級法院的判決),但可能有著截然不同的原因,而不同意同一套主要原因,在這種情況下,可能會出現數個協同意見書,而其中每個都不代表法庭多數成員的意見。因此,參加人數最多的協同意見被稱作多數意見書。 通常,上訴法院(或受理機構)都配有奇數個法官以避免同票。有時當司法職位空缺或法官申請自我迴避的情況下,法院可能會被同票所套牢,在這種情況下下級法院的判決將在沒有解釋的情況下,不被推翻。 使用普通法制度的國家中的主要意見書將成為判例法正文的一部份。 在某些法院,像是美國最高法院中,主要意見可能被以數字或字母分成幾部分。這使得撰寫「部分協同」意見或「部分不同」意見的法官可以容易地看出他們加入了那些主要意見,那些不加入。 (zh)
