The Court has already established the mechanism to operate with three members
The Supreme Court issued on December 18th an agreement that Its objective is to regulate the drawing of the so-called “co-judges” who are the ones who must act in the event that the majorities are not reached to issue a sentence.
The decision contains a message addressed to the Executive Branch and the explicit institutional “concern” it expresses for a “small” Court. In essence, it prevails to subtract arguments for the need for a decree that appoints Ariel Lijo and Manuel García Mansilla to a “commission” under the pretext of a paralysis in the rulings.
Through 16 pages, the judges signed Agreement 41 that establishes the mechanism for the drawing of co-judges between the presidents of the Federal and National Chambers. This procedure prevents the files from being paralyzed due to a possible lack of majorities (three concurring votes, which as of December 30 would imply unanimity between Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti). For cases in which majorities are not reached, the process of drawing lots for co-judges is expedited and the file is prevented from being paralyzed between the members.
