An assault refers to the use of force by a person on another person that may be as little as touching to the infliction of a serious injury, directly or indirectly, without the other person’s consent. An assault may include situations where the other person’s consent is obtained by fraud or as a result of a threat. Assaults are classified according to the degree of injury inflicted for example common assault, a serious assault, assault occasioning bodily harm or a sexual assault. In each case, the penalty increases in a circumstance of aggravation such as the use of a weapon during an assualt.
It is strongly recommended that you obtain criminal law advice before responding to criminal charges of assault or grievous bodily harm as the criminal pentalties can attract a term of imprisonment (jail).
A common assault is the most frequent charge for minor assault matters. Section 335 of the Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld) states that a common assault occurs where a person unlawfully assaults another. It carries a punishment up to 3 years imprisonment and is dealt with as a summary offence in the Magistrate’s Court.
Assault occasioning bodily harm (AOBH) describes an assault where a person unlawfully assaults another and causes an injury which does not amount to grievous bodily harm or does not constitute a serious assault however it is more serious than common assault. The offence is contained in s 339 of the Criminal Code and states that any person who unlawfully assaults another and thereby causes the other person bodily harm, is guilty of a crime and liable to imprisonment for 7 years which includes pushing or striking a person where it causes swelling and bruising. The penalty is aggravated if committed in a public place while adversely affected by alcohol or drugs.
There are a range of defences which may apply to an assualt including self-defence, defence of another, provocation, intoxication, accident, duress, extraordinary emergency, preventing a breach of peace, domestic discipline and mental incapacity. It is crucial that advice is sought from an experienced criminal lawyer.
Our Brisbane Criminal Lawyers are results driven with a reputation for delivering favourable outcomes for clients.
It is important for our criminal lawyers to understand the history of the matter and to explain the progress of proceedings prior to appearing in court, particularly when a matter has progressed to a point that it might be listed for trial or committal mention. In such circumstances, the question of bail applies and there may be diversionary options or specialist courts that might be available. Diversionary programs and Specialist Courts will each have special criteria that must be satisfied before a defendant will be referred.
