  1. If it should happen that a prior’s three-year term of office is due to end within the three months which precede the holding of a provincial chapter or the election of a prior provincial, the prior’s authority is extended until the completion of the chapter, or if a prior provincial is elected outside a chapter, until the prior provincial takes office.
  2. Where, for a just cause, it does not seem advisable to hold the election of a prior within a month after the office becomes vacant, the prior provincial, having consulted the chapter of the convent, may appoint the outgoing prior or the subprior in capite as his vicar to govern the convent for not longer than six months, unless within that six-month period a provincial chapter is to be held.
