Duelling Reform Bill 366 ES

Introduced in the Duma.

 

An act to reform duelling so one can better defend their honour.

---

 

INTRODUCTION

This bill aims to amend the duelling code so as to allow those of rank or possessing honor to defend their honour from attack. As it stands, the duelling process is slow and has an unnecessary crown acceptance requirement.

 

I. Amendments
