Hi everyone,
I'm a translator from Turkey and, currently, I am translating a court paper involving assault and battery which needs to be translated into English. Since the document requires knowledge of legal/judicial terminology or of the legal system in Australia, I thought I could ask you guys if there is such a thing in Australian legal system, I mean, if one can be both, a defendant and a complainant in a case involving assault and battery? And, if so, what is the legal term for it?
I should add that the case involves a fight between two people.
