Can individual judges do as they please without any voting or consensus?

There job is to interpret and implement the law. So they should never do as they please but ensure the law is enforced.
Sometimes that's conjunction with a jury or as a panel of judges. Those scenarios involve voting or consensus. But not all judgements are made this way.
Decisions can be appealed or challenged by higher courts.
