In what way does the law as it currently stands not work though? Just because it's a bit archaic does not mean that it's any less relevant now than it was when it came in. The crime of causing GBH is another part of the 1861 act, and I don't hear anyone calling for that to be brought up to date because it sounds a bit old fashioned.

I guess perhaps the charge of wanton and furious driving, a crime created a few hundred years ago to cover people riding horses badly, could do with being brought up to date.
