Section 34-37 Self-defence

Criminal Code CC-S34-37 - The Self-defence Law While the general rule makes an important distinction between the use of physical force and deadly physical force. A person may use physical force to prevent imminent physical injury, however a person may not use deadly physical force unless that person is in reasonable fear of serious physical injury or death to themself or another. Also included a duty to retreat, wherein deadly physical force may only be used if the person acting in self-defence is unable to safely retreat. As discussed above, a person is generally not obligated to retreat if in one's own home (for example, a person doesn't have to retreat from the living room to the kitchen, then to the bedroom, then to the bathroom). "An one in violation of this law will be charged with Murder"

Sections 34

• 34-B - Every one who is unlawfully assaulted and who causes death or grievous bodily harm in repelling the assault is justified if
• 34-C - He causes it under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence with which the assault was originally made or with which the assailant pursues his purposes; and

Section 35

• 35 - Every one who has without justification assaulted another but did not commence the assault with intent to cause death or grievous bodily harm, or has without justification provoked an assault on himself by another, may justify the use of force subsequent to the assault if

• 35-A-1 - Under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence of the person whom he has assaulted or provoked, and
