Section 54 (2) (c)
If Rod directs his overseer to grab the rifle, hop in the Hilux, drive 22kms South to the boredrain, and shoot any pigs he finds there, then he has done all of that with Rod's "expressed consent".
However, in the case of an inspection at a time when Rod is not present, unless the overseer has Rod's "expressed consent" in writing, either as a letter, or as written into the overseers employment contract, then the overseer should advise the inspecting officer to return at a time when Rod is present.
