Appendix N — International Juries

Members shall not be regarded as having a significant conflict of interest (see rule 63.3) by reason of their nationality, club membership or similar. When otherwise considering a significant conflict of interest as required by rule 63.3, considerable weight must be given to the fact that decisions of an international jury cannot be appealed and this may affect the perception of fairness and lower the level of conflict that is significant. In case of doubt, the hearing should proceed as permitted by rule N1.6.

If a panel fails to agree on a decision it may adjourn, in which case the chair shall refer the matter to a properly constituted panel with as many members as possible, which may be the full jury.
