Русско-англо-русский юридический словарь

A dissenting opinion (or dissent) is an opinion in a legal case in certain legal systems written by one or more judges expressing disagreement with the majority opinion of the court which gives rise to its judgment. When not necessarily referring to a legal decision, this can also be referred to as a minority report. (Wikipedia)

MINORITY REPORT: a separate report prepared by a group constituting or representing a numerical minority (as of a committee) (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

A minority opinion or “minority report��� is the expression of disagreement with the majority decision that advisory bodies may submit to staff liaisons. In the legal context, this is called a “dissenting opinion.” For the purposes of advisory bodies, we use the term minority report. (Bureaus & Offices of the City of Portland)
