Where a member of the Regiment is discharged, relinquishes the member's commission or is dismissed, it shall be that person's duty to deliver up in good order, fair wear and tear only excepted, all arms, including firearms, clothing and equipment, being public property, issued to the person or in the charge of the person, or, in any case where the delivery of the property is impossible, it shall be the person's duty to pay into the revenue of the Government the value thereof.
A person who fails to comply with subsection (1) commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine equal to seven days' pay or to imprisonment for a term of one month, or to both.
Where a person is convicted of an offence under this section, the court by which the person is convicted may make an order providing for the payment of compensation by the person convicted or such other order as the court determines appropriate, and any such order may be enforced as if it were an order made by the court in a civil cause or action.
