Source
Rema, Orach Chaim 163:1: “For all communal needs regarding which they cannot reach agreement, they should assemble all the householders who pay the tax, and they shall accept upon themselves that each one will state his opinion for the sake of Heaven, and they shall follow the rav. And if the minority refuses, the majority can compel them even through the laws of the non‑Jews.” And the Gaon wrote there, in se’if katan 9, that all partners with regard to matters of their partnership are like the Great Court (the Beit Din HaGadol).
