On behalf of the victim of an unprovoked assault: The assailant pleaded guilty and was found guilty in the district court of an totally unprovoked assault on a young man he didn't even know. Video evidence was very conclusive. The judge passed down a 6 month suspended sentence. The victim sustained a very badly broken nose which had to be re-broken and operated on 2 weeks later. The judge did not award any compensation (this is common in this particular court). What can the victim do to claim compensation? Advice welcome please.
