Types of Assault

​

Assault is not a one-size-fits-all offence. It encompasses various forms, each with unique legal implications. Invictus Legal is experienced in handling all types of assault cases, including:

​

• Simple Assault: This involves minor physical confrontations. It's often seen as the least severe form of assault.

• Aggravated Assault: This is a more serious form, involving weapons or intent to cause serious harm.

• Sexual Assault: Involves non-consensual sexual contact and requires sensitive and expert handling.

• Domestic Assault: Assault within a domestic setting, often involving family members or intimate partners.

​

Penalties for Assault

The consequences of an assault conviction can vary greatly, depending on the severity and circumstances of the offence. Invictus Legal expertly navigates these complexities, advocating for fair and just outcomes. Penalties can include:

​

• Community Service or Fines: For lesser offences, often accompanied by mandatory counselling.

• Probation: Involving specific conditions and regular check-ins with a probation officer.

• Incarceration: Varies from short-term detention for minor offences to long-term imprisonment for more severe cases.

Common Defences for Affray Offence

In cases of affray, certain defences can be pivotal. Invictus Legal specialises in utilising these defences effectively:

​

• Self-defence: Arguing that the actions were necessary to protect oneself from harm.

• Lawful Chastisement (Correcting A Child): Used in specific scenarios where reasonable physical discipline is applied.

• Intoxication: While not always a complete defence, it can be significant in understanding the context of the assault.
