(1) Subject to subsection (2), a member (other than the Commissioner) who has
given to the Commissioner not less than 28 days' notice in writing of his
intention to resign from the Service may, at the expiry of that period, so
resign upon-

   (a)  delivering up in good order (fair wear and tear excepted) all uniform
        and equipment provided to him and which is either public property or
        Service property;

   (b)  surrendering any document of identity issued to him by the
        Commissioner; and

(2) Where, during the period between the giving of such notice of resignation
and the expiry of the period specified in the notice, the member is called out
on active service under section 16 on the occasion of an emergency, the
Commissioner may direct that the whole or part of any period of such
active service shall not be taken into account in the calculation of the
period which has elapsed since the giving of the notice of resignation and,
where such a direction is given, the member's resignation shall not take
effect until the expiry of the further period specified in the Commissioner's
direction in addition to the period specified in the member's notice of
resignation.

(3) Except as provided in subsection (1), a member may resign only if so
permitted by the Commissioner to do so, and upon such resignation shall-

        Service property;
