7-man panel:

REMAND
REMAND
REMAND
REASSIGN
REASSIGN
OVERRULE
-no judgment-

the Justiciar picks OVERRULE, and that's the judgment.

I think the following would be a better system:

 - If less than half the panel provided judgments, reassign it to a new
panel containing all the panelists who did provide judgments, and have
them reopine their previous opinions (in effect, reassign the previous
panel)

 - If more than half the panel has provided judgments, and more than
half the judging panelists provided the same judgment, that judgment is
chosen.

 - Otherwise, the Justiciar (or, failing that, the CotC) shall choose a
judgment such that if every undecided panelist chose that judgment, no
other judgment would have been chosen more often (so in the above
instance, e could pick REMAND or REASSIGN)

I think the Hot-or-Cold thing should still exist under this system, but
the case doesn't need to wait up for the Justiciar. Also, the CotC
should get the first bid at the final say when the Justiciar is running
the case.
