tie-breaker judgment

My comment:

The French Conseil des Prud'hommes has only two judges. In cases when they can't agree, a third judge, from the civil court is called upon to "départager" (break the tie). There is no equivalent in Common law nor in US Labor law, so the literal translation is the only one possible.
