What is Common Assault?
Under Section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act the offence will be committed when a person either assaults another person or commits a battery.
A battery is classified as the application of unlawful force. This could be anything from a push or slap.
An assault is when the one person makes the other fear that immediate force will be used against them. This could be anything from shaking a fist or running a finger across a throat. No force needs to be applied in order for it to be an assault.
Will there be a prison sentence?
Common assault carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison and/or a fine.
