An assault is just one charge you may face in a larger category of charges under Part 3 of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 ‘Offences against the Person’. The charges in this category vary from a ‘Basic Assault’ to ‘Causing Serious Harm with Intent’ or even ‘Murder’. Criminal defence lawyers
The maximum penalties for an assault vary on a number of important factors including whether harm was caused, or if the offence was aggravated. The law allows an aggravated offence to be charged in circumstances specified in s5AA of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935. Commonly this is where the alleged victim is a police officer, domestic partner or was an offensive weapon if used. Adelaide Criminal Lawyers
