appointed expert regarding observations made in the exercise of their duties
if the Directorate or the competent
supreme cantonal court has authorized them to do so. Information obligations
under the Cantonal Council Act remain reserved.
2 The Directorates may delegate this competence to the directly
subordinate offices, departments, and operations; the supreme cantonal
courts may delegate it to the courts or to the Notary Inspectorate.
3 This authorization must also be obtained after the
employment relationship has been terminated.

court or the court or Notary Inspectorate authorized thereto.

must be informed. This authority decides whether a permit
must be obtained. It can also subsequently and on its own initiative
demand that a permit be obtained.20

exercised in the interest of the service does not need to be compensated.
Ancillary income, with the exception of expense allowances, must be paid
to the State Treasury in a reasonable proportion to the working time expended,
unless the working time is compensated.
4 Working time claimed for ancillary employment primarily
exercised in one's own interest must generally be compensated,
except for charitable ancillary employment up to half a day per week.
Time compensation is in no case to be qualified as overtime. The
permit may be linked to the condition that an appropriate part of the
ancillary income be paid to the State Treasury if working time compensation
is not possible or only partially possible.
