ANNOTATION
Quorum means the majority of the entire body. This section clearly determines, that which is necessarily implied in § 5 of art. VI, Colo. Const., that a quorum of the justices may transact business and decide cases. This section does not define a quorum. The word, therefore, must be held to be used in its ordinary meaning, and that meaning is a majority of the entire body. Snider v. Rinehart, 18 Colo. 18, 31 P. 716 (1892); Mtn. States Tel. & Tel. Co. v. People ex rel. Wilson, 68 Colo. 487, 190 P. 513 (1920).
