I think it would stand up in court! It's all captured on camera. It would probably be classed as a common assault.

But did it cause any long term damage or effect the way Susie lives? If it was hot tea and she was scalded then sure that is something that would stand up better but the fact it was water would make it not worth all the hassle.

Have you not already made a similar post???? It doesn't matter whether or not lasting damage is caused!!!! Read my previous post. The lowest form of assault, common assault, is fearing imminent force and you do not even have to have contact with the person. Battery, the next form of assault, is whereby there is a mere touch and the actor has acted maliciously. That is the law...there does not have to be permanent damage that is a load of tosh!!!
The law is as I stated it.. however this does not mean that Grace would be prosecuted as I also explained that it depends whether the person presses charges or if the crown prosecution service think a conviction is likely as they will not pursue a case otherwise. Although an offence has been committed it may not be worth their while.
Oh, and we are talking
Criminal Court here.
Civil Court is an entirely different matter as this is where the two parties pay for their own costs and the test is easier to fulfil than in criminal courts. Civil court is for seeking compensation, criminal court is for punishment
