Upon being charged with common assault, our client was able to have all charges dropped thanks to the work and negotiations of our team.
As discussion with prosecution began, we raised the defence of self-defence. Through negotiation, prosecution then confirmed that they had received a statement of no-complaint from the complainant, and in light of the position and negotiations, would agree to withdraw the charges on the basis of no-costs being sought against them. Once we spoke with our client and advised them to accept this position, all charges were withdrawn against them.
