5.2. The term of office of a full-time coroner is renewed for five years, according to the renewal procedure established by government regulation, unless

(1)  the coroner is notified otherwise, at least three months before the expiry of his term, by the agent authorized for that purpose by the Government; or

(2)  the coroner requests otherwise and so notifies the Minister of Public Security at least three months before the expiry of the coroner’s term.

However, the Government may determine a shorter term of a fixed duration in the coroner’s instrument of renewal if the coroner so requests for serious reasons or if special circumstances stated in the instrument of appointment require it.
