Question:
He asks: Is consultation binding on the one who makes a final decision in a matter, or may he go against the opinion agreed upon by those he consulted?

If something other than what they advised becomes clear to him, he takes the clear course. But if the correct course does not become clear to him, he follows the consultation.
