Reports state that no discussion was permitted on the topic before the vote took place.
A request from two judges to change the meeting plan was turned down. Another judge asked to delay the meeting, saying more time was needed to review the new rules.
Even with these objections, the rules were approved by the slim majority.
The first two topics at the meeting were agreed on by everyone. These covered powers for family court judges and matters about the IHC building itself.
