More Fun with the Criminal Code

Duels

Marginal note:Duelling
71. Every one who
  • (a) challenges or attempts by any means to provoke another person to fight a duel,
  • (b) attempts to provoke a person to challenge another person to fight a duel, or
  • (c) accepts a challenge to fight a duel,
is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.

I'm not sure if "by any means" includes a glove slap. I suppose the argument could be made.
