What will he get?

[harryt]

there was an incident which happened this time last year where a guy was charged with section 5 of the public order act. he continued to plead not guilty even though i had an independent witness.
it has been due to go to court twice first time he didnt turn up and second time i couldnt go as i had just given birth,
i then received a new court date where i would have to go and give my statement and also the independant witness would have to go too, then last week i recieved a call sayin that the guy had now changed his plea to guilty so i no longer have to go.

what could be the possible outcome of this case, what will he get? will he get made to pay court costs etc?

thanks in advance

Maximum penalty for S5 is �1,000 fine.

Likely penalty if found guilty after trial is a fine of half a week's net income, costs of about �400 and �15 Victim Surcharge.
