410. If an appointment or personal designation provided for in this Code has not been made within the prescribed time or within a period of time the Minister considers reasonable, the Minister may make it. However, the appointment or designation may be made by the competent person or council, even after the expiry of that time, with the Minister’s permission.
If the Minister makes an appointment or designation, the Minister may, if no remuneration has been fixed for the position concerned or if the Minister considers the remuneration fixed to be inappropriate, fix any remuneration the Minister considers appropriate.
An appointment or designation made, or remuneration fixed, by the Minister under this article is deemed to have been made or fixed by the person or council otherwise competent to make or fix it under this Code.
