The request for recusal of a judge in the Grand Chamber shall be ruled by a collegial panel of the Grand Chamber.When the aforesaid ruling prohibits the judge whose recusal is requested from participating, the candidate for substitution shall be based on the stipulations in the second Subparagraph and the third Subparagraph or the substitute judge will be appointed.
