Canon 406. §1 The coadjutor Bishop, and likewise the auxiliary Bishop mentioned in can. 403 §2, is to be appointed a Vicar general by the diocesan Bishop. The diocesan
Bishop is to entrust to him, in preference to others, those things which by law require a special mandate.

§2 Unless the apostolic letters provide otherwise, and without prejudice to the provision of §1, the diocesan Bishop is to appoint his auxiliary or auxiliaries as Vicar general or at least episcopal Vicar, in dependence solely on his authority, or on that of the coadjutor Bishop or of the auxiliary Bishop mentioned in can. 403 §2.

§1. Episcopus coadiutor, itemque Episcopus auxiliaris, de quo in can. 403, §2, ab Episcopo dioecesano Vicarius generalis constituatur; insuper ipsi prae ceteris Episcopus dioecesanus committat quae ex iure mandatum speciale requirant.

§2. Nisi in litteris apostolicis aliud provisum fuerit et firmo praescripto §1, Episcopus dioecesanus auxiliarem vel auxiliares suos constituat Vicarios generales vel saltem Vicarios episcopales, ab auctoritate sua, aut Episcopi coadiutoris vel Episcopi auxiliaris de quo in can. 403, §2, dumtaxat dependentes.
