Limitation of Expenditure

It is the duty of a provincial chapter to determine the limit to what may be spent by the superior of a convent on his own, or with his council; it must also determine the limit to what the prior provincial without his council may spend or allow someone else to spend.

Major projects which are subsidised by outsiders and thus require no outlay by the Order do, however, need the required consent in accordance with n. 590 and the previous article.

It is the duty of a general chapter to determine the limit to the expenditure which the Master of the Order may authorise without his council.
