513. The court sits with three judges, but the chief justice may increase this number when he deems it proper. Nevertheless, fewer than three judges may open and adjourn the sittings of the court, call the parties, record appearances and defaults and do any acts which do not require the exercise of judicial discretion.
The chief justice may, whenever the dispatch of business so requires, order that the court sit in several divisions at one time, at Québec or at Montréal.
