[2002] EWCA Crim 2188
An appropriate sentence for assault occasioning actual bodily harm depended upon the particular circumstances of the case. A custodial sentence was inevitable where there had been a serious unprovoked attack in a public place and the appellant had a history of creating disturbances. A 12 month sentence in those circumstances was not excessive.
