Since a case may be heard by three or more judges of the Court of Appeal, opinion may take various forms in appeal decisions. If all the judges agree fully on the outcome, one judge writes the opinion for all. If not all judges agree, the formal decision is based on the opinion of the majority, and a member of the majority will write the opinion. Judges who disagreed with the majority may formulate separate dissenting or concurring opinions to express their views. A dissenting opinion disagrees with the majority opinion because of the reasoning and/or legal principles used by the majority to decide the case. A concurring opinion agrees with the majority opinion`s decision, but offers further comments or clarifications, or even a completely different reason for reaching the same conclusion. Only the majority opinion can serve as a binding precedent in future cases. See also previous. 13.

First, as noted by the United States Supreme Court in Collins v. Virginia, the official seized of the evidence must have a legal right of access or observation of the seized object. That is, if the public servant violated the Fourth Amendment or any other law by going to the place or situation where he had access or saw the object, then the doctrine of clear vision does not apply.
