A board resignation letter in Gibraltar is the notice ending a director's appointment.

This template gets that filing right and states honestly that resignation does not end every obligation — Gibraltar director duties, drawn from common law and equitable principles, can continue to apply after departure in the same way they do in other common-law jurisdictions.
