There is one (of many) that specifically states an extension must be affirmatively agreed to on a case by case basis by the pilot and the certificate holder.
IIRC, It specifically states that automatic extensions are a no no. It does authorize signing the release to be consent proof for extensions up to 30 minutes, but you still have to consent, and consent can’t be given before the need for an extension is even known.

at OO we sign the release electronically with our Ipad, by doing this we are agreeing to any FDP extention that is known at that point, if one becomes known after signing in on our ipad it is up to us to notify that we are fatigued if we do not plan to work the flight. we are not allowed to not agree to the extention, we can only call fatigued, so far no one has hired a lawyer to challenge this interpretation seeing as our representation is funded by management, they will concur with whatever mgmnt says.
