Bench requirement: multi-judge hearings must resolve references by majority, with rehearing on stated points of law. Cases referred under the statutory reference must be heard by a Bench of not less than two judges and decided according to the opinion of such judges or the majority. If no majority exists, the judges must state the point of law in dispute, which will be reheard by other judges on that point only and decided by the majority of judges who have heard the case, including the original judges.
