RC was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm contrary to s59 Crimes Act 1900. As per RC’s instructions, Chris Cole entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.
On the day of the Hearing, the complainant did not appear at Court and the matter was adjourned to a later date. On that later date, the Prosecution attempted to adjourn the proceedings again. Chris made oral submissions opposing this application. After hearing these submissions, her Honour determined it was not in the best interests of fairness to have the matter adjourned again.
All the charges were withdrawn by the Prosecution.
