If in exceptional circumstances the Minister is satisfied that leave for which no provision has been made in this determination should be granted in a specific case, he or she may grant such leave on such conditions as he or she may deem necessary, whether it be leave with full remuneration or leave with reduced or no remuneration, provided the judge concerned has, in the case of leave with reduced remuneration or leave without remuneration, in writing waived his or her right to unreduced remuneration in terms of section 26(1) of the Act.
