Part II
Criminal Responsibility

Compulsion
13.(1) There shall not be deemed to commit an offence every person who is compelled to do an act by coercion or by threat of death, or imminent grievous hurt to his person, or family, or serious injury to his property, where the said person apprehends that the execution of the threat is most probably to occur and it is not in his power to avoid it by any other means.

(2) Coercion shall not justify causing death, or grievous hurt or the commission of any of the offences against the state which are punishable with death.
