Can you appeal decision not to prosecute?
2 Answers
My friend was recently badly assaulted and knocked unconscious in an unprovoked attack. He required 6 stictches and lost a tooth. There was no CCTV but there were witnesses, including a passer-by that didn't know anyone involved.
The police arrested the attacker who admitted the assault however he has only been given a caution, despite having 2 previous cautions already.
Is there any way for my friend to appeal this decision and get the police to press charges for ABH or assault? Failing this can a civil case be brought to claim compensation for his injuries(he requires very expensive dental work)?thanks.
