Provisional section of contract in Germany (6)

I believe the answer is:

acting

'provisional' is the definition.
(as in an acting manager etc)

'section of contract in germany' is the wordplay.
'section of' indicates a hidden word.
'ACTING' is hidden in the letters of 'contract in germany'.

(Other definitions for acting that I've seen before include "Behaving in a certain way" , "stagecraft" , "in a provisional role" , "Behaving like a player" , "Interim" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
