It is hard to determine what the real impact will be of the repeal of section 43 in and of itself. The case law has obviously adapted and applied what the Supreme Court has decided and given as guidelines for the use of reasonable force by parents and persons standing in place of parents and teachers.
One thing I would mention is that without section 43, what we have seen in case law is that we're also bringing up certain common law defences. You would have de minimis the defence of necessity, and maybe others could at one point have recourse to the defence of implied consent in those cases. Those defences are very specific to certain circumstances. It isn't clear whether those would apply to the same extent as the section 43 defence currently applies.
