712: Resignations from office

You could also call this:

"How to quit a local government job is now covered by a different law."

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

If you want to know about resigning from a local government office, you should look at a different law. The rule about resigning, which was section 712, is no longer in use. It was removed from the law on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002. This means you cannot use this old rule to resign from a local government office.
